title = "An Ultra-Wideband 3D Printable Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna Fed by a Hollow Waveguide",
abstract = "A Ka-band cavity backed magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna with ultra-wide bandwidth is proposed. An all-metal structure can be easily realized with 3D-printing technology minimizing the errors while assembling the antenna with multiple layers. A gain of up to 14.6 dBi and an impedance bandwidth of 39% from 29.5GHz to 43.8GHz are achieved by the proposed antenna unit cell. Each layer in the proposed antenna contributes to an enhanced performance. The broadband characteristics of the ME dipole is increased by the addition of the cavity backed hollow waveguide feed network. The proposed antenna unit cell can be used to build compact planar arrays in the Ka band by incorporating low loss and wide band T-junction power dividers in the complex feed network. The proposed antenna has an advantage of easy fabrication through 3D printing technology and it can be utilized for wideband millimeter-wave wireless applications.",
