抛物面天线的微带馈源

抛物反射面天线,在雷达及微波通信中是广泛应用的天线。近年来,由于卫星通信与卫星电视转播的发展,使它的应用日益广泛。抛物面天线由旋转对称的旋转抛物面(反射面)与馈源组成。由于反射面是固定的旋转抛物面,天线的性能在很大程度上取决于馈源的性能。所以,为了改善和提高抛物面天线的性能,近年来天线工作者把相当多的注意力都放在馈源的研究与改进上,要求馈源与反射面密切匹配。也就是说,作为反射面天线的馈源,要求它能在天线反射面的口面上形成一个适当的场分布。这种分布使得天线在某个频带内,在某一给定的旁瓣电平的前提下能得到最大的增益。这除了在设计天线时正确选择馈源的波束宽度与之相配外,还要求馈源的辐射方向图旋转对称、交叉极化激励得要低、旁瓣与后瓣电平要低,在 E 面与 H 面的相位中心要重合,再有馈源与其支架结构对天线的遮挡要小。

A Miniaturized Ground Edge Current Choke—Design, Measurement, and Applications

We propose a miniaturized microwave current choke for blocking the current flowing along the edge of a substrate's ground plane. The proposed current choke is composed of a printed inductor and a printed capacitor, which possesses a size much smaller than a conventional quarter-wavelength current choke. By introducing the choke at one side of the ground plane, an effective electrical open circuit is performed for reflecting the ground edge current. The size of the proposed ground edge current choke (GECC) is as small as around 0.06 wavelength in free space. Two applications of the GECC are presented in this paper. The first is the radiation pattern regulation of a printed monopole antenna with long ground plane. The GECC in this application reflects the induced traveling-wave current along the ground plane edge and changes it to a standing-wave one, thus regulating the tilted radiation pattern due to the traveling-wave current to a broadside pattern. The other application is the decoupling of two nearby monopole antennas. By placing the proposed compact GECC in between the antennas, it is found that the isolation between the antenna ports can be enhanced from 8 dB to 32 dB. The experimental results agree well with the simulation, which demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed GECC.      

WLAN chip antenna mountable above the system ground plane of a mobile device

A novel wireless local-area network (WLAN) chip antenna suitable to be mounted above the system ground plane of a mobile device is presented. The antenna in the study is easily fabricated from folding a single metal plate onto a foam base, and mainly comprises a short-circuited radiating strip and an antenna ground. The antenna ground occupies the bottom surface and two adjacent side surfaces of the foam base. When the antenna is mounted at the corner of the system ground plane, this antenna ground structure is expected to effectively reduce the antenna's possible fringing electromagnetic fields inside the mobile device. In this case, when the associated element such as the radio-frequency shielding metal case is placed under the proposed antenna, small or negligible variations in the antenna performance are obtained. Design considerations of the proposed antenna for WLAN operation in the 2.4 GHz band are described, and results of the constructed prototypes are presented.     

Compact triple band antenna for WLAN/ WiMAX applications

A low profile printed antenna with triple band operation is presented for simultaneous use in wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. The antenna consists of a rectangular radiating element fed asymmetrically by a 50 Omega microstrip line and a shaped trapezoidal ground plane. Rectangular horizontal strips are attached to the radiation element to form different current paths which make the antenna resonate in WLAN and WiMAX frequency bands. The antenna operates in dipole configuration outlining overall dimensions of 38 times 30 times 0.8 mm³.     

Low-profile resonant cavity antenna with artificial magnetic conductor ground plane

A planar artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) ground plane is proposed as a means to reduce the profile of a highly directive resonant cavity antenna. The structure is formed by a printed microstrip patch antenna and a superimposed partially reflective surface. The antenna profile is reduced to approximately half by virtue of employing the AMC ground plane. A ray theory model is used to qualitatively describe the functioning of the antenna and theoretically predict the existence of quarter wavelength resonant cavities.     

Conformal Antennas on Liquid Crystalline Polymer Based Rigid-Flex Substrates Integrated With the Front-End Module

Recent developments in liquid crystalline polymer (LCP)-based processing technology have shown that highly-integrated, fully-packaged radio-frequency (RF) front-end modules with high-performance can be designed by using the system-on-package (SOP) approach. However, the direct integration of a large antenna element to a small module package still remains an issue. This paper presents a novel conformal antenna structure, which results in a compact integration of the antenna and the module package for 5 GHz WLAN/WiMAX applications. The extension of 5 GHz single-band operation to 2.4/5 GHz dual-band operation is also discussed in this paper. The antenna is an inverse L-shaped monopole printed on a 25-$mu{hbox {m}}$-thick flexible LCP layer, which protrudes from a rigid multilayer organic substrate. The shielding effects of a grounded metal case, which can house the associated module circuitry, are also considered during the design process. The metal case serves as a vertical ground plane for the antenna in addition to protecting the module circuitry from the near-fields of the antenna. The flexible LCP substrate can be bent and folded over the module case, resulting in a compact design and the tight integration of the antenna with the front-end module. The details of the design and the fabrication of the proposed structure as well as the simulation and the measurement data are presented in this paper.
