Complementary sources concept and half-mode/quarter-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW/QMSIW) technology are introduced in this paper to improve the back-radiation suppression and bandwidth of microstrip patch antennas (MPAs). The HMSIW cavity as the feeding structure brings an additional resonant frequency to the inherent resonant mode of typical MPAs, which efficiently extends the bandwidth of the MPAs. In addition, while stimulating the MPA mode, the HMSIW cavity drives a monopole by slightly breaking the shorting wall of the HMSIW cavity and loading a printed monopole. The loaded monopole and the equivalent magnetic currents of the MPA construct an orthogonal complementary source model that indicates back radiation suppression. A differential feeding scheme is also employed to enhance the radiation performance. The dual-polarized model, achieved by replacing the HMSIW cavity with QMSIW cavities, is also addressed and even fabricated and tested. The measured results show a differential impedance bandwidth of 15.4% from 1.91 GHz to 2.23 GHz with a differential port-to-port isolation of 38 dB. In the operating band, the average gain is 7.5 dBi, and the front-to-back ratio (FBR) is over 18 dB with a maximum value of 34 dB. |
