Patent ID: 11967764

Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) with dual circular polarizations. An example SIW may include a dielectric substrate and a first metallic layer coupled to a top surface of the dielectric substrate with a through-hole extending through the dielectric substrate and the first metallic layer. The SIW also includes a dielectric layer coupled to a top surface of the first metallic layer. A second metallic layer is coupled to a top surface of the dielectric layer. The second metallic layer includes a non-conductive opening, a plurality of feeds with a first end in the non-conductive opening and a second end including a single-ended termination, and an impedance transformer. The SIW also includes a third metallic layer coupled to a bottom of the dielectric substrate, and a set of metallic via-holes proximate the non-conductive opening and coupling the second metallic layer to the third metallic layer.
