In multicarrier wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications, as the size of antenna array increases, as in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), an additional propagation delay of the electromagnetic wave at each antenna element is introduced comparable to (or greater than) the symbol duration, resulting in producing a displacement in beam direction at each subcarrier frequency or as...Show More
In this letter, we presents a modified multifrequency phase synthesis approach to design the wideband transmit-reflectarray (TRA) with tilted beams considering the beam squint effect. Unlike the conventional phase synthesis approach, the effectiveness of the method is improved by introducing the predeviated beam direction at optimized frequency point to mitigate the beam squint, thus achieving a w...Show More

It has a simple and low-profile configuration, which consists of 15 slot radiating elements and one microstrip feedline. The slot radiating element creates nulls in the pattern at forward and backward endfire. By properly arranging the radiating elements with a small separation, the higher ord...Show More
This paper introduces the theoretical explanation of verifying the multiple image acquisition method on Stripmap SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). This technique is needed for generating video images when wide beam antenna and high squint conditions are satisfied. It also explains why wide beam antenna and high squint case conditions are required. Furthermore, we show the simulation results using th...Show More
In this paper, we assess by simulation the residual beam squint effect of a millimeter-wave (mmWave) beam forming scheme of a phased array antenna (PAA) receiver supported by a continuously tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (CT-MZI). The CT-MZI provides a delay that depends on the operating frequency. Therefore, a high bandwidth signal will experience a non-constant group delay over its bandwidt...Show More
In modern phased array radars, digital beamformers are used for beam steering in transmit and receive operations. Most of the conventional radars operate in narrowband applications with phase shift beamformers. The high-resolution imaging radars operating with wide bandwidths suffer from beam squint with phase shift beamformers. In this work, a methodology is proposed to address this effect throug...Show More
Practical time delay circuits do not have a perfectly linear phase-frequency characteristic. When these delay circuits are applied in a phased-array system, this frequency dependency shows up as a frequency dependent beam direction (“beam squinting”). This paper quantifies beam squinting for a linear one-dimensional phased array with equally spaced antenna elements. The analysis is based on a (fre...Show More

The proposed multiple beam feeding network has three input ports and three output ports, and the signal is divided into three equal magnitudes and features unique progressive phase shifts at its output ports for each input ports excitation. To reduce the variation of progressive phase ...Show More
In this paper, we propose a novel reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) codebook design by leveraging beam squint with the help of half-power beamwidth (HPBW) concept. In particular, the beam squint effect incurs the array responses' direction change of RIS under different frequencies. We aim to design the RIS phase shifts such that the beams with squint generated by different RIS weights could...Show More
Hybrid precoding is considered in wideband mm-Wave massive MIMO-OFDM systems with beam squint. Traditional wideband hybrid precoding schemes cannot achieve near-optimal sum rate as digital precoding/beamforming (DBF) and may induce high hardware cost. Dynamic time-domain weighting hybrid precoding (DTW-HBF) updates the analog weights during an OFDM symbol, realizing equivalent frequency-dependent ...Show More
In this letter, the beam squint problem, which causes significant variations in radiated beam gain over frequencies in a millimeter wave communication system, is investigated. A constant modulus beamformer design, which is formulated to maximize the expected average beam gain within the bandwidth with limited variation over frequencies within the bandwidth, is proposed. A semidefinite relaxation m...Show More
The problem of beam squinting in circularly polarized offset reflector antennas is solved by using a novel focal-plane array concept that consists of sequentially rotated linearly polarized elements. This concept can be used to facilitate beam steering in full-duplex communication with satellite Internet (VSAT) operating in the Ka-band. A prototype consisting of a 75-cm offset dish illuminated by ...Show More
A circularly polarized matched feed is utilized to correct the adverse property of squinted beams of the secondary radiation patterns in offset parabolic reflector antennas. The matched feed is a circularly polarized dual-mode waveguide antenna, producing a tapered distribution at its fundamental mode. The modes of interest are the TE11 and TE21 type modes of circular waveguides.Show More

Huygens' metasurfaces have attracted attention as a method for constructing thin lenses. In this report, we focus on I-shaped elements as an example of a structure of Huygens' metasurface and propose a lens that can change the pass-through phase at 28 GHz with the maximum of −2 dB loss and almost no phase change at 25.75 GHz using Huygens' metasurface.Show More

Beamforming technology is widely used in millimeter wave systems to combat path losses, and beamformers are usually selected from a predefined codebook. Unfortunately, the traditional codebook design neglects the beam squint effect, and this will cause severe performance degradation when the bandwidth is large. In this letter, we consider that a codebook with fixed size is adopted in the wideband ...Show More
Frequency-induced beam squint is probably the biggest hurdle in some cases that limits the application of leaky-wave antennas (LWAs) and leaky-wave radiating structures (LWRSs) to communication systems. In this paper, we derive a frequency-phase condition of guided-wave radiation elements in an LWA or LWRS to prevent beam squint from frequency scanning. It is found out that magneto-electric (ME) d...Show More
A novel approach is proposed to suppress the frequency-dependent beam squint of offset-fed reflectarray patterns. The design comprises two offset feeds located at opposite ends of the reflectarray, in the plane of offset, simultaneously illuminating the reflectarray. This generates a single beam that does not squint from the desired design direction at off-center frequencies. The concept is valida...Show More
Hybrid precoding (HPC) can significantly reduce the hardware cost of the massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. However, the beam squint cannot be ignored for a wideband MIMO system.
