The chamfered bend two, four and eight-way SIW power dividers analysis for millimeter wave applications using the quick finite element method
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, we propose three kinds of substrate-integrated waveguide (SIWs) based chamfered bend power divider junctions provide equal power distribution to all output ports while maintaining high isolation and operating in the 54 GHz to 60 GHz frequency band. The advantages of the SIW technology are ease of design, fabrication and low form and full integration with planar printed circuits. In this case, the concept of the SIW H-plane power divider is implemented using a rigorous two-dimensional quick finite element method (2D-QFEM) programmed by MATLAB software. The numerical performance of this method is the Quick simulation time for using the mesh with Delaunay regularization in two dimensions, if we increase the mesh the FEM gives better results. This paper presents the transmission coefficient, return loss and the electric field distribution. The results obtained from QFEM were compared with those provided by HFSS for validation. When using the discretization with the Delaunay procedure only in two dimensions, we notice that the calculated simulation time decreases with good precision.
