To meet the increasing need of high-data-rate and broadband wireless communication systems, the devices and its circuits R&D under Millimeter, Sub-Millimeter, or even Terahertz (THz) frequency bands are attracting more and more attention from not only academic, but also industrial areas. Most of the former research on the THz waveband (0.1–10 THz) antenna design is mainly focused on realizing high directional gain, such as horn antennas, even though the coverage area is very limited when comparing with the current Wi-Fi system. One solution for the horizontally omnidirectional communication antenna is using the structure of multiple split-ring resonators (MSRRs). Aiming at this point, a novel 300 GHz microstrip antenna array based on the dual-surfaced multiple split-ring resonators (DSMSRRs) is proposed in this paper. By employing the two parallel microstrip transmission lines, different MSRRs are fed and connected on two surfaces of the PCB with a centrally symmetric way about them. The feeding port of the whole antenna is in between the centers of the two microstrip lines. Thus, this kind of structure is a so-called DSMSRR. Based on the different size of the MSRRs, different or multiple working wavebands can be achieved on the whole antenna. Firstly, in this paper, the quasi-static model is used to analyze the factors affecting the resonance frequency of MSRRs. Simulation and measured results demonstrate that the resonant frequency of the proposed array antenna is 300 GHz, which meets the design requirements of the expected frequency point and exhibits good radiation characteristics. Then, a dual-band antenna is designed on the above methods, and it is proved by simulation that the working frequency bands of the proposed dual-band antenna with reflection coefficient below −10 dB are 274.1–295.6 GHz and 306.3–313.4 GHz.

A novel dual-band/dual-mode compact hybrid coupler which acts as a dual-band branch-line coupler at the lower band and as a rat-race coupler at the higher band is presented in this paper. One of the most interesting features of the proposed structure is that outputs of the proposed coupler in each mode of operation are on the same side. This unique design is implemented using artificial transmission lines (ATLs) based on open split ring resonators (OSRR). The low-cost miniaturized coupler could be operated as a dual-band 90° branch-line coupler at 3.3 and 3.85 GHz and 180° rat-race coupler at 5.3 GHz. The proposed coupler could be utilized in the antenna array feeding circuit to form the antenna beam. The structure’s analytical circuit design based on its equivalent circuit model is provided and verified by measurement results.

Abstract A wideband circularly polarized (CP) array antenna has significant importance in modern communication system. In this paper, we proposed a wide band CP array by combing dual split ring resonators (DSRRs) to dual layer microstrip antenna. A 2 × 2 dual-layer microstrip antenna array is used to radiate wide band linearly polarized wave, and the 3 × 3 four-layer DSRRs is used as an external polarizer which converts linearly polarized wave to circularly polarized wave at distinct frequencies. The proposed array achieves an impedance bandwidth of 20% ranging from 4.57–5.57 GHz and AR bandwidth of 16.83% ranging from 4.57–5.41 GHz. The prominent futures of the proposed array are wide impedance bandwidth on desired frequencies. This new concept is theoretically and experimentally investigated to evaluate the performance of the proposed array, which allows a better prospect for the application of radar and satellite communication systems.
