Abstract

In this paper, the authors have proposed semi-hexagonal half-mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) antennas generated by splitting the hexagonal SIW cavity across two different lines of symmetry, type 1: the diametric line the joining the opposite vertices of the cavity and type 2: the line connecting the opposite edge centers of the cavity. The resultant line of separation exposes the radiating edge of the antennas, with the other edges lined with hollow metallic cylindrical vias. The antennas thus designed and fabricated on Arlon AD270 substrate have a gain of 5.8 dBi at the resonating frequency of 5.9 GHz. The proposed antennas are compounded to design linear 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 arrays. The resonating frequencies for both 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 linear arrays of type 1 is 5.9 GHz with respective gain of 8.27 dBi and 11.3 dBi, thereby providing a gain improvement of 2.47 dBi and 5.5 dBi over the single array element. The type 2 linear antenna arrays also resonate at 5.9 GHz for both 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 configurations exhibiting a gain of 8.2 dBi and 11.2 dBi respectively, thus providing a gain improvement of 2.4 dBi and 5.4 dBi over the single array element. The antennas find significant utility in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for vehicular communication using Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) technology with frequency of operation lying in the allocated IEEE 802.11p band. The antennas also find application in satellite communication in the C-band. The measured results of the fabricated prototype of the antenna arrays are found to bear a close agreement with the simulated ones.
