Characteristic Aperture Modes for the Mutual Coupling Analysis in Finite Arrays of Aperture-Coupled Antennas

Calculation of mutual coupling in finite arrays of aperture-coupled antennas with an arbitrarily shaped aperture is seriously impeded by the number of unknowns necessary to describe the aperture field. Entire domain expansion functions are extracted numerically from the equation tha has to be satisfied by the equivalent magnetic current on the aperture of asingle antenna element by applying the well developed theory of Characteristic Modes. The resulting weighted eigenvalue equation gives an orthogonal set of eigenmodes which can be ordered according to their contribution in therealpower flow through the aperture. It is shown, that even for ‘near field’ quantities like S-parameters, only a limited number of characteristic modes is sufficient to characterize the electromagnetic coupling through the aperture. The procedure was used in a methodof moments code and results are compared to measurements and other calculations from literature.     

Theory of aperture-coupled hemispherical dielectric resonator antennas with radiating elements

A new approach based on hybrid volume-surface integral equation (VSIE) formulation in combination with spherical dyadic Green's function (DGF) is presented in this paper to analyze aperture-coupled multilayer hemispherical dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) with conformal conducting patches. Hybrid VSIE is used for the planar part of the structure and is solved with the aid of spatial-domain method of moments (MoM) in order to compute magnetic surface current in a slot cut in a finite planar perfect electric conductor (PEC) sheet. Multilayer spherical electromagnetic DGFs are used to compute loading effects of hemispherical dielectric resonators and conformal patches on antenna characteristics. The effects of variation in some parameters of the structure on the return loss of the antenna are studied. Accuracy of the presented method is validated by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method with those of CAD simulations.     

A broadband aperture-coupled stacked microstrip antenna with both patches notched and offset

This paper proposes a new approach to further improving the bandwidth of a typical aperture-coupled stacked microstrip antenna by cutting triangular notches in the radiating sides of both radiating patches together with offsetting both patches. An antenna applying this new approach is designed, fabricated, and tested. The experimental antenna could achieve a measured impedance bandwidth of about 37.5% for the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio （VSWR） 〈 2 in X-band.
