The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.展开更多
