  • Patent number: 11837787
    Abstract: A high frequency filter comprising a waveguide and at least one resonant cavity is disclosed. The waveguide is a so-called gap waveguide, and comprises a metal or metallized base layer, a lid arranged in parallel with said metal or metallized baser layer, a waveguiding structure in the form of a ridge, a groove or a microstrip line, and an artificial magnetic conductor arranged on said base layer, between the baser layer and the lid, and arranged aligned with said waveguiding structure to prevent waveguide propagation along other directions than along said waveguide structure. The filter further comprises at least one resonant cavity arranged within said baser layer, and extending essentially perpendicular to a plane of said baser layer. The filter may e.g. be used in a phased array antenna.

  • Publication number: 20230036066
    Abstract: An antenna arrangement suitable for a vehicle radar transceiver. The antenna arrangement includes a radiating layer having a surface, the surface delimited by a surface boundary. One or more apertures are arranged on the surface. The antenna arrangement further includes one or more surface current suppressing members arranged on the surface. The one or more surface current suppressing members are arranged to suppress a surface current from an aperture to the surface boundary. The one or more surface current suppressing members include one or more grooves.

  • Publication number: 20210356504
    Abstract: A measurement device (100) for measuring antenna characteristics of an antenna under test (150, AUT), the AUT having a radiating element (160), the measurement device (100) comprising an exterior surface (110), where a measurement aperture (120) is formed in the exterior surface, and a repetitive structure (130) is arranged on the exterior surface, the repetitive structure (130) comprising a plurality of protruding conductive elements (135) arranged to surround the measurement aperture (120) and to define a passage (140) into the measurement aperture (120), the repetitive structure (130) being configured to attenuate electromagnetic signal propagation in a frequency band past the repetitive structure (130) while allowing propagation via the passage (140).
