An antenna applying this new approach is designed,fabricated,and tested. The experimental antenna could achieve a measured impedance bandwidth of about 37.5% for the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR) ≤ 2in X-band.展开更多

It is based on aperture-coupling theory and simulation of an electromagnetic(EM) field to design and optimize the 140 GHz high-power directional coupler. In addition, we simulated the double-aperture directional coupler by using three-dimensional(3D) EM simulation software, in which the central frequency is 140 GHz, coupling factor is about –70 dB, and directivity is greater than 17 dB. The results show that such a coupler is a viable tool for power measurement in high-power transmission systems.展开更多
