Abstract
A compact dual-wideband millimeter-wave magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna based on dual-mode operation is proposed in this article. The ME dipole consists of two mirrored U-shaped patches, a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity with slotted top and two metallized vias connecting the patches to the slot. The two mirrored U-shaped patches work as an electric dipole (E-dipole), while the slot on the top of the SIW cavity and two metallized vias works as a magnetic dipole (M-dipole). In the lower frequency band, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.5\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> modes of the E-dipole and the M-dipole are excited to form the <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.5\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> mode of the ME dipole. In the higher frequency band, <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> modes of the E-dipole and the M-dipole are excited to form the <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1\lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> mode of the ME dipole. In order to achieve compact structure and wide bandwidths, an SIW cavity is designed to feed the antenna. The proposed design shows that the measured impedance bandwidths (return loss larger than 10 dB) are 24–29.3 and 35.5–43.5 GHz at least with the achieved gain of 4.8–6.1 and 6.8–8.7 dBi, respectively. The designed antenna is suitable for 5G dual-band millimeter-wave applications.
