Abstract
A quarter-mode substrate integrated waveguide (QMSIW) which is the quadrant sector of a
square waveguide resonator is proposed and investigated in this paper. The QMSIW is realized
by bisecting the half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) into two parts along
the fictitious quasi-magnetic wall when it operates with TE101 and TE202 modes as the way
bisecting the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) to HMSIW. The QMSIW can almost
preserve the field distribution of original SIW and leaky wave is achieved from the dielectric
aperture of the QMSIW. When the feeding port is placed at one corner of the QMSIW, a
linearly polarized radiation is obtained when the QMSIW resonates in TE101 QM mode, and
when the QMSIW resonates in TE202 QM mode, a circularly polarized (CP) wave is achieved.
An antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured based on the proposed QMSIW. The
measurement results match with the simulation results very well.
