Alonso Del Pino, M. (author), Bosma, S. (author), Jung-Kubiak, C. (author), Bueno, J. (author), Chattopadhyay, G. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)In this paper, we present a quasi-optical power distribution architecture based on the use of an integrated lens antenna that generates a uniform aperture field distribution.

(author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Mehdi, I. (author), Chattopadhyay, G. (author)Terahertz heterodyne spectrometer instruments have been traditionally limited to a single pixel or a handful of pixels due to integration and assembly constraints and a limited availability of local oscillator (LO) power. As a solution we propose a novel silicon-micromachined planar and modular packaging strategy, that will allow for a dense...conference paper 2023

Bosma, S. (author), van Rooijen, N. (author), Alonso Del Pino, M. (author), Spirito, M. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)We report the measured results of a sparse, 4x1 scanning lens phased array prototype at W-band that is capable of beam steering a directive (>30 dBi) beam towards ±20° with sidelobe levels around -10 dB.

Bueno Lopez, J. (author), Bosma, S. (author), Bußkamp-Alda, T. (author), Alonso Del Pino, M. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)We present the design, fabrication and characterization of a broadband lossless matching layer for shallow lens arrays. The matching layer we propose is based on silicon pyramids fabricated on top of the lens array by means of laser ablation. This matching layer has the advantage that it covers over an octave of bandwidth. We have compared the...conference paper 2022

Bosma, S. (author), Neto, A. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)In this work, we show that the near field of leaky-wave resonant antennas (LWAs) radiating into a dense medium can be locally represented as a spherical wave in a certain solid angle around broadside using an accurate definition of the phase center. The near field in this solid angle can be efficiently evaluated through the integration of the...journal article 2022

Bosma, S. (author), van Rooijen, N. (author), Alonso Del Pino, M. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)We present a resonant leaky-wave lens antenna, fed by a circular waveguide with annular corrugations in the ground plane. The proposed leaky-wave feed reduces the impact of the spurious TM0 leaky-wave mode in all planes over a wide bandwidth while reducing assembly complexity compared to previous methods. The proposed leaky-wave antenna has...journal article 2022

Bosma, S. (author), van Rooijen, N. (author), Alonso Del Pino, M. (author), Spirito, M. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author)We report on the first demonstration of dynamic beam steering using a scanning lens phased array. A scanning lens phased array relies on a combination of mechanical and electrical phase shifting to dynamically steer a high-gain beam beyond the grating-lobe free region using a sparse array. These two concepts have been demonstrated separately in...journal article 2022
