In this paper, the authors present a broadband transition from the standard WR-10 rectangular waveguide (RW) to a groove gap waveguide (GGW) in the W-band. The transition structure is based on electromagnetic band gap (EBG) technology where two EBG u...
A coaxial-to-groove gap waveguide transition is proposed for the first time, addressing the lack of similar designs in the state-of-the-art literature. An in-line configuration is adopted in case of stringent space requirements in groove gap waveguid...
Recently, groove gap waveguides (GGWs) have shown significant potential in power handling and bandwidth enhancement compared to conventional waveguides. In this research work, we designed and developed an innovative mushroom-unit-cell-based groove ga...
An array of low profile horns fed by transverse slots on a groove gap waveguide (GGWG) is presented. The GGWG is implemented with glide symmetrical holes and the design frequency is 28 GHz. The low profile horns are integrated in the same waveguide w...
In this paper, low-pass corrugated filters based on half-mode groove gap waveguide (HMGGW) technology are proposed for the first time. The design process starts from the equivalent classical low-pass implementation in corrugated rectangular waveguide...
A 4 × 4 wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) slot array antenna excited by the TE440 mode based on the groove gap waveguide is presented in this paper. A vertical waveguide located in the center of the cavity and two ridges are used to excite the...
This paper presents for the first time a compact wideband bandpass filter in groove gap waveguide (GGW) technology. The structure is obtained by including metallic pins along the central part of the GGW bottom plate according to an n-order Chebyshev...
An X-band H-plane groove gap waveguide magic-T is presented as a combination of an H-plane and an E-plane T-junction. Two architectures can be derived by orientating the sum and difference ports to the same or opposite directions, respectively. Slot...
In this paper two different simple to design and easy to manufacturing transitions from a microstrip to rectangular waveguide based on ridge and groove gap waveguides are studied. The first one is based on a combination of a groove and ridge gap wave...
An in-line transition between a coaxial cable and rectangular waveguide operating in Q-band (33–50 GHz) is presented. The aim of the work is to minimize the modifications in the waveguide to the strictly necessary to overcome the manufacturing issues...
A period-reconfigurable leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with circular polarization (CP) and fixed-frequency beam scanning (FFBS) is developed in this article. Operating in the Ka-band, this antenna consists of a low-loss groove gap waveguide (GGW) as the sl...
