Abstract | A high aperture efficiency endfire antenna based on odd mode spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) is proposed in this paper. First, a pair of symmetrical SSPPs transmission lines are applied to an endfire antenna. To realize an endfire antenna, the SSPPs transmission lines are supported by a balun with a 180° phase shifter, and this makes each pair of SSPPs units work as a dipole. Next, we study the dispersive curve of this dipole-shaped SSPPs unit and get its relationship between phase constant and frequency. Then, the Hansen-Woodyard condition is used to get a maximum gain at endfire direction. Moreover, in order to excite a radiation into the free space, we compose a tapered structure with this pair of SSPPs transmission lines. As a result, an endfire antenna with zero tilted angle operates in the frequency range of 9-11GHz and achieves an average gain of 11.51 dBi. Besides, this SSPPs antenna realizes a high aperture efficiency up to 13.26 dBi/λ0. The simulated and measured results are in good agreements over the operating band. The proposed SSPPs endfire antenna holds a low profile, small aperture and it is promising for application in satellite and radar communication systems. |
