	abstract = {In this work, the experimental implementation of a 4 x 4 stacked-patch array with linear polarization and a corporate feeding network for Ku-band is exposed. The feeding network is split into two levels, with an initial power distribution in Substrate Integrated Waveguide and a second distribution in microstrip technology. The experimental results show a matching coefficient better than -10 dB in a 15.9\% bandwidth. In addition, the measured gain attains 16.8 dBi, 0.8 dB below the simulated gain, while radiation efficiency is 66 \%. The structure is validated for higher-gain arrays, and hence designs of 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 radiating elements are also proposed and the simulated results presented. Therefore, antennas with several gain values are available in order to suit the different elements of the communication system, such as the end user and the base station.},

	abstract = {A 4 {\texttimes} 4 linearly-polarized stacked-patch array with a fully corporate feeding network for Ku-band is presented in its work. Antenna replication in larger arrays is straightforward with this corporate approach, which in addition prevents unintended main beam steering. The feeding structure is divided in two levels, where the first power distribution is made in Substrate Integrated Waveguide and the second in microstrip technology. This procedure takes advantage of the strengths of each technology, combining waveguide low losses with microstrip versatility. A 18.4-dBi gain is attained in simulation with matching better than -14 dB in the entire bandwidth.},

	abstract = {A conformal array antenna for omnidirectional coverage in the azimuth plane at Ku band is presented. An eightfaced prism structure has been used to obtain the omnidirectional radiation pattern following a maximum theoretical ripple criterion. The radiating element consists of a rectangular waveguide ended on a cavity-slot. An equal power eight-way radial-waveguide divider has been designed to feed each radiating element. The use of waveguide technology minimizes the propagation losses and makes the structure suitable for high power applications with omnidirectional coverage requirements. The achieved simulation results show a maximum realized gain of 2.4 dB, a maximum ripple of 1.5 dB for the omnidirectional pattern and a matching bandwidth of 16.2\% around 17 GHz.},

	abstract = {A linearly polarized 2x2 patch array fed by a corporate Substrate Integrated Waveguide network for Ku band is presented. The utilization of a corporate topology in the feeding network prevents the antenna from suffering an unintended main lobe tilt dispersion. Nevertheless, the interelement spacing increases, and so does the Side-Lobe Level. Reducing this spacing implies closer discontinuities, such as bends and T-junctions. This degrades the reflection coefficient. Hence, a tradeoff solution has been designed and manufactured, achieving a Side-Lobe Level better than -11 dB and a measured bandwidth similar to the expected in the simulation stage, being 4.1 \% at -10 dB. The measured gain reaches 13.27 dB, which corresponds to an 86\% radiation efficiency.},

In this paper we address the development of divider/combiners in waveguide technology for large number of ports. Radial waveguide dividers will be studied, starting from the S-parameters representing the N-port waveguide junction, and ending with the full-wave simulations. Two different designs in this technology are studied. The experimental evaluation will come from a prototype at Ku-band, fabricated and tested in order to validate the design.},

The novel antenna feed chain1 is composed of two elements or subsystems, namely a diplexer and a bi-phase polarizer. In comparison with the classic topology based on an orthomode transducer and a dual-band polarizer, the proposed feed chain presents several advantages, such as compactness, modular design of the different components, broadband operation and versatility in the subsystems interconnection. The design procedure of this new antenna feed configuration is explained. Different examples of antenna feeding networks at 20/30 GHz are presented. It is pointed out the excellent results obtained in terms of isolation and axial ratio.},
