A high gain printed antenna with parabolic metal grid reflector based on SIW technology

A printed parabolic antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna is loaded with a parabolic cylinder reflector which is composed of a series of metal-via arrays in order to improve the gain of H-plane horn antenna based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The final simulation results by CST Microwave Studio indicate that this antenna has the effect of high gain, the reflection coefficient of the antenna in 36.04–36.35GHz is lower than −10dB, the gain is 13.12dBi at 36.2GHz. This type of antenna solves the difficulty in integrating reflector antenna.
