Abstract

A millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) wideband dual circularly polarized (CP) antipodal septum antenna is proposed. By introducing two antipodal septum blames in widened rectangular waveguide and the corresponding feeding network, the operating bandwidth of the septum antenna is enhanced. The working principle of the generation process of dual CP is explained by a three-port model with three excitation conditions. In addition, the asymmetrical radiation pattern of the classical polarizer consisting of square waveguide and single septum caused by the high-order modes is explained and eliminated. To verify the design, the proposed antenna has been fabricated and measured. An operating bandwidth of 37.4% for reflection coefficients less than −13.8 dB, isolation better than 22 dB, and axial ratio (AR) value less than 3 dB is achieved.
