This paper proposes a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) amplifier using lumped-element transition. The input and output impedances of this amplifier are matched by the lumped-element transition structure. This structure provides compact impedance and mode matching circuits between the HMSIW and a stand-alone amplifier. Surface mount technology inductors and capacitors are implemented to realize the lumped-element transition. A prototype of the proposed HMSIW amplifier shows 15 dB gain with 3 dB bandwidth of 4 to 7.05 GHz in a simulation and measurement.

In this work, a broadband composite right/left-handed (CRLH) half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) quadrature Wilkinson power divider is proposed. The proposed CRLH-HMSIW quadrature power divider includes a microstrip Wilkinson power divider on the transition structure between the microstrip and HMSIW, and two thru transmission lines for the HMSIW and the CRLH-HMSIW. The measured amplitude, phase difference and isolation between the two output ports of the proposed structure have 1 dB, ${\pm}5^{\circ}$ and less than -15 dB in a wide frequency range of 4.1-6.68 GHz with 47.9% bandwidth, respectively.

This paper proposed a novel compact bandpass filter with folded half mode substrate integrated waveguide (FHMSIW) cavities using two-layer printed circuit board(PCB) process. The area of the FHMSIW filter is reduced by nearly 50 % and 75 % compared with half mode substrate integrated waveguide(HMSIW) filter and substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) filter, respectively. A four-pole Chebyshev FHMSIW bandpass filter at C-band has been designed, simulated and fabricated. Measured results are presented and found to agree with the full-wave simulated results by using Ansoft HFSS. The filter shows good performance and compact size.

본 논문에서는 출력 단자 간의 격리 특성이 향상된 half mode 기판 집적 도파관(half mode substrate integrated waveguide) 평형 여파기를 제안한다. 제안된 평형 여파기는 중앙 금속 층에 저항성 커플링 슬롯을 삽입하여 출력 단자 간의 격리 특성을 향상시켰으며, 우수한 삽입 손실을 가지며 평형 신호를 다룰 수 있다. 측정 결과, 5.8~6.4 GHz의 주파수 대역에서 삽입 손실 $5.4{\pm}0.2$ dB, 입력 반사 손실은 10 dB 이상으로 나타났다. 또한, 통과 대역내에서 출력 단자 간의 격리 특성이 18 dB 이상으로 나타났으며, 출력 단자 사이의 위상차도 $177{\pm}8^{\circ}$가 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 위상 배열 시스템에서 활용 가능한 $4{\times}8$ 이중 편파 기판 집적 도파관(SIW: Substrate Integrated Waveguide) 슬롯 배열 안테나를 제안한다. 제안된 배열 안테나는 수직 편파 안테나와 수평 편파 안테나로 구성 되어 이중 편파가 가능하며, 수직 편파 안테나는 기존의 기판 집적 도파관을 이용하여 가로 슬롯 선형 안테나를 배열하였으며, 수평 편파 안테나는 half mode 기판 집적 도파관(HMSIW: Half Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide)을 사용하여 세로 슬롯 선형 안테나를 배열하였다.

In this work, a new microstrip-to-substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transition using the parallel half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) is proposed. The proposed transition consists of three sections : a microstrip, parallel HMSIWs, and an SIW. By inserting the parallel HMSIWs section between the microstrip section and the SIW section, the proposed transition can improve the return loss characteristics of the near cut-off frequency because the HMSIWs section has a lower cut-off frequency than the SIW section (8.6 GHz). The lower cut-off frequency is achieved through gradual electromagnetic field mode changes for a low reflection. The measured return loss is less than 20 dB in the of 9.1~16.28 GHz freqeuncy range for the back-to-back transition. The measured insertion loss is within 1.6 dB for the back-to-back transition. The proposed transition is expected to play an important role in wideband SIW circuits fed by a microstrip.
