Abstract:A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) Hplane horn antenna with wide band and high fronttoback ratio (FTBR) was designed. In order to improve the matching condition between horn aperture and free space, an integrated solution is suggested, which is based on a semicircular dielectric substrate and a metal piece along the horn aperture. The size of the antenna is 16λ×32λ mm, the impedance bandwidth is broaden and the FTBR is improved. The simulated results show that the proposed antenna operates with 21% impedance bandwidth ranging from 228 GHz to 282 GHz with S11 below -10 dB. The FTBR is greater than 13 dB at the frequency from 23 GHz to 26 GHz. The maximum gain of this antenna can reach 122 dB and the gain which have a considerable character can keep stable in a wide frequency range. Compared with other SIW horn antennas, this antenna has a simpler structure, and it is better in terms of wide bandwidth, higher gains and FTBR.
