CODAR Directional Biases with a Four-Element Antenna Array

Directional biases are shown to exist for a four-element square CODAR receiving array used for coastal current mapping. The sources being sidelobes and mutual coupling (a type of pattern distortion), these nonstatistical biases depend both on the geometry/size of the square array as well as the particular closed-form algorithm employed to estimate bearing. Typical rms errors due to these sources lie between 5-15°. Reconfiguration of the four-element antenna geometry may reduce sidelobe biases when closed-form algorithms are employed, but only at the expense of increased mutual-coupling bias. A least-squares algorithm is given that corrects for pattern distortion, circumventing this shortcoming of closed-form methods; this algorithm can also improve sidelobe biases. Other antenna systems possessing no sidelobes are in use for CODAR that eliminate these sources of error.     

A Compact Monopulse Radial Line Slot Array Antenna at Millimeter Wavelengths

This paper describes the design and performance of a radial line slot array antenna (RLSA) which generates sum or difference far field patterns. The antenna consists of rectangular waveguide to radial line transition, radial line and slot arrays etched on the upper plate of the radial line. A novel rectangular waveguide to radial line transition is designed to build up the dominate TEM mode in radial line to excite the slot arrays which are arranged in concentric rings on the upper plate of the radial line. The antenna radiates linear polarization at Ka band. Monopulse operation is obtained by a sum and difference network which is a compact eight-port comparator consisting of coplanar magic tees. The sum and difference network is waveguide structure whose loss is less than that of microstrip structure at millimeter wave lengths. The monopulse performances can be used in monopulse tracking and anti-collision application etc. Genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to optimize the parameters of the transition and antenna to obtain good performances.     

A Compact UWB and Bluetooth Slot Antenna for MIMO/Diversity Applications

A novel compact pattern diversity slot antenna for ultra‐wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified coplanar waveguides that feed staircase‐shaped radiating elements, wherein two different fork‐like stubs are placed at the 45° axis. The measured results show that this proposed antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 12.5 GHz, covering Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The performance of radiation patterns and the corresponding envelope correlation coefficient prove this antenna is suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, the antenna's compact size makes it a good candidate for portable devices.

On the Design of a Dual-Band,Switched-Beam Antenna Array with Constant Excitation Coefficients

A new technique is proposed for the design of dual-band, switched-beam, wire antenna arrays, using the method of genetic algorithms (GA's). The main goal of the proposed technique is the preservation of constant excitation coefficients during operation at different frequency bands. This is accomplished by jointly optimizing the array's technical characteristics for operation at both frequency bands, while properly exploiting mutual coupling between array elements. Numerical results are presented in the case of a uniform, eight-element circular array, with radiation characteristics specified for the 2.4–2.4835 GHz and 3.4–3.8 GHz frequency bands, and excellent agreement to design considerations is demonstrated.

The proposed antenna has a compact size with overall dimensions 37-33 mm and is fabricated on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant ? _r = 4.4 and thickness h = 1.6 mm.

Study and Design of a Differentially-Fed Tapered Slot Antenna Array

The results of a parametric study and design of an ultrawideband dual-polarized array of differentially-fed tapered slot antenna elements are presented. We examine arrays of bunny-ear antennas and discuss the capabilities and limitations of differential antenna technology. As we focus on radio astronomical applications, the absence of a balancing-feed circuit not only reduces the first-stage noise contribution associated to losses in the feed, but also leads to a cost reduction. Common-modes are supported by the antenna structure when a third conductor is present, such as a ground plane. We demonstrate that anomalies may occur in the differential-mode scan impedance. Knowledge of both types of scan impedances, differential and common mode, is required to properly design differential LNAs and to achieve optimal receiver sensitivity. A compromise solution is proposed based on the partial suppression of the undesired common-mode currents through a (low loss) balancing-dissipation technique. A fully steerable design up to 45$^{circ}$ in both principal planes is achieved.      

Leaky-Wave Slot Array Antenna Fed by a Dual Reflector System

A leaky-wave slot array antenna fed by a dual offset Gregorian reflector system is realized by pins in a parallel plate waveguide. The radiating part of the antenna is composed by parallel slots etched on one side of the same parallel plate waveguide. The dual offset Gregorian reflector system is fed by an arrangement constituted by two vias and a grid, also constituted by pins. Also this feed arrangement realizes a leaky type of radiation, this time inside the parallel plate waveguide. A prototype of the antenna has been designed, manufactured and successfully tested. The low profile, low cost and high efficiency of the antenna render it suited for a variety of radar or telecom applications.

In this paper, a novel compact semi-circular slot (SCS) 2 × 2 MIMO antenna is presented for 5G NR sub-6 GHz applications with high isolation. The proposed antenna consists of a semi-circular slot in ground plane, U-shaped stub, and 50-ohm microstrip feed line. The novelty of this paper are the Semi-Circular Slot acts a radiator, the port isolation  is enhanced using a simple conductor strip as a neutralization line, very compact in size, low ECC, and good impedance matching. The overall size of the proposed SCS MIMO antenna is 16 mm x 21 mm, and FR4 substrate is used with thickness of 1.6 mm. The two SCS antenna elements are separated by edge-to-edge distance of 1mm (\(=0.019\lambda _{0}\)). The proposed compact MIMO antenna design is simulated using Ansys HFSS. To validate SCS MIMO antenna, a prototype was fabricated and tested. The measured results are attained at 5.5 GHz with isolation greater than 25dB, impedance bandwidth (S11\(<-10\) dB) covers from 5.10 GHz to 5.80 GHz with return loss of ? 39.5 dB. The MIMO antenna parameters, ECC, CCL, TARC, and MEG are studied, and the values are obtained within acceptable limits. The measured and simulated antenna results are almost similar. This compact MIMO antenna is suitable for 5G communications in sub-6 GHz wifi-5 band applications.
