The design of a multifrequency dipole antenna array based on a resonant meta-surface superstrate is proposed. The behavior of a single element that is closely placed to a meta-surface is experimentally investigated. The proposed meta-surface is based on resonating unit cells formed by capacitively loaded strips and split ring resonators. By tuning a dipole antenna to the pass band of the meta-surface, the physical area is effectively illuminated enhancing the radiation performance. The gain, radiation efficiency and effective area values of the whole configuration are compared to the ones obtained with a single dipole without superstrate. Radiation efficiency values for the proposed configuration of more than 80% and gain values of more than 4.5 plusmn 1 dB are obtained. Based on this configuration, simulated results of a multifrequency antenna array are presented. Distinctive features of this configuration are high isolation between elements (20 dB for a distance of lambda0/4), and low back radiation. 相似文献

A theoretical model to analyze a covered rectangular antenna with an arbitrary dielectric constant superstrate is developed. The antenna is simulated by the radiation of two magnetic dipoles located at the radiating edges of the patch. The Green's function of an elementary magnetic dipole in a superstrate-substrate structure, utilizing spectral-domain analysis, is formulated, and the surface-wave and radiation field are computed. An improved transmission line model, which considers the stored energy near the radiating edges and the external mutual coupling, is used to compute the input impedances and radiation efficiency. Design considerations on the superstrate thickness and its dielectric constant are discussed. Experimental data for a single element and a 4×4 microstrip array is presented to validate the theory 相似文献

The radiation performance of a dipole antenna closely placed to a planar meta-surface based on parallel short dipoles and continuous wires is presented. Owing to the uniform illumination of the superstrate, an enhancement of gain up to 6.8 dBi is obtained, the thickness of the whole system being 0.135 lambdao and the aperture efficiency 82%. 相似文献

Experimental verification of the reduction of coupling between dipole antennas by using a woodpile substrate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this paper, the mutual coupling between dipole antennas placed on top of a woodpile structure is experimentally investigated. The coupling between dipoles backed by a woodpile substrate is compared with that obtained when the dipole antennas are placed on a dielectric substrate and when they radiate into free space. On average, between 2 and 7 dB reduction of the mutual coupling is achieved with respect to the dielectric substrate case when the woodpile substrate is used. The free space coupling is also reduced in the H-plane configuration case. However, the E-plane coupling slightly increases due to modification of the radiation pattern. Imaging array applications could potentially benefit from the use of EBG substrates due to the improved isolation between pixels. 相似文献

The mutual coupling effects between a finite phased array of dipoles and its feed network are analyzed. The feed network is typically a corporate feed consisting of split-tee power dividers cascading to form a certain power distribution over the aperture. A simple iterative approach is used to solve the interaction between elements and feed. The radiation of a finite dipole array are first found for a given voltage excitation. These radiation impedances are then used as loads for the feed network, and the n +1 port network problem is analyzed. Due to the interaction between the feed network and dipoles, the antenna parameters such as mismatch, antenna pattern, and gain are all affected. These effects can be determined from the analysis of the network representation. Numerical results for a typical phased array with a corporate feed show that the resultant VSWR of the feed pattern degradation is due to the mutual coupling effects 相似文献

An array of printed dipole antennas for wireless local area network applications is designed and simulated using ads software. In MIMO system, numbers of antenna elements are used in different configuration. This paper presents the simulated results of printed dipole antennas in side by side 4‐element array, echelon and H‐shaped dipole array configurations. The designed antenna is characterized by measuring return loss, radiation pattern, directivity, and gain and also presented the simulated capacity results of different array configurations. The mutual coupling between the dipoles of different orientations is included to make simulation more realistic. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Various arrays consisting of finite number of printed dipoles on electrically large dielectric coated circular cylinders are investigated using a hybrid method of moments/Green's function technique in the spatial domain. This is basically an "element by element" approach in which the mutual coupling between dipoles through space as well as surface waves is incorporated. The efficiency of the method comes from the computation of the Green's function, where three types of spatial domain Green's function representations are used interchangeably, based on their computational efficiency and regions where they remain accurate. Numerical results are presented in the form of array current distributions, active reflection coefficient and far-field pattern to indicate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. Furthermore, these results are compared with similar results obtained from finite arrays of printed dipoles on grounded planar dielectric slabs. It is shown that planar approximations, except for small separations, can not be used due to the mutual coupling between the array elements. Consequently, basic performance metrics of printed dipole arrays on coated cylinders show significant discrepancies when compared to their planar counterparts. 相似文献

Mutual coupling in multi-element array antennas and its influence on MIMO channel capacity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of mutual coupling between receive elements in a multi-element antenna on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system capacity are reported. The results are based upon analysis of mutual coupling calculated for a measured linear array of five printed dipole elements with 0.56 of a wavelength spacing. It is shown that the presence of mutual coupling at the receive array antenna leads to additional correlation between spatial channels and results in a loss of MIMO system capacity. 相似文献

A high-efficiency microstrip-fed endfire angled-dipole antenna has been developed for millimeter-wave phased array applications. The antenna is built on both sides of a Teflon substrate (epsivr = 2.2) and this allows a wideband feed from the single-ended microstrip line to the differential dipole. The design results in wide radiation patterns for scanning purposes with a gain of around 2.5 dB at 20-26 GHz and a cross-polarization level of < -15 dB at 24 GHz. A mutual coupling of < -23 dB is measured between adjacent elements with 6.8 mm center-to center spacing (0.50-0.54 lambda0 at 22-24 GHz). A variant of the angled-dipole antenna with a magnetic ground plane edge was also developed, and shows a measured gain of > 6 dB at 23.2-24.6 GHz and very low mutual coupling between elements (<-23 dB for a 6.8 mm spacing). Both antennas result in a radiation efficiency of > 93% when referenced to the microstrip line feed (including mismatch loss). The usefulness of these antennas as phased array radiators is demonstrated by several eight-element linear arrays at 22-24 GHz with scan angle up to 50 degrees. The application areas are in automotive radars and high data-rate communication systems. 相似文献

Performance of adaptive array antenna with arbitrary geometry in the presence of mutual coupling 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effect of the mutual coupling between the array elements on the performance of the adaptive array antennas (AAA) is investigated when the actual received voltages which include the mutual coupling are directly used to estimate the weight vector based on the adaptive algorithm. The output signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR), the convergence of the adaptive algorithm and the synthesized pattern are evaluated to study the effect due to the existence of the mutual coupling. It is found that the mutual coupling affects the antenna adaptive gain, but does not affect the adaptive processing. It is also found that the mutual coupling does not always degrade the iterative convergence of the adaptive algorithm. It is proved that any invertible matrix for compensating the mutual coupling cannot improve the output SINR. It is also indicated that the radiation pattern can be correctly synthesized in the presence of the mutual coupling by introducing the universal steering vector (USV) whose element corresponds to the array element pattern. 相似文献

The effect of mutual coupling on the performance of a least mean square (LMS) adaptive array using dipole elements is analyzed in consideration of the signal bandwidth. The purpose here is to illustrate quantitatively the significance of the effect of mutual coupling. The results show that the effect in the broad-band signal cases is much greater than that in the narrow-band cases, particularly when few antenna elements are used. 相似文献

Mutual coupling between antenna elements in a phased array causes array performance to vary with scan angle. Large impedance mismatch and radiation loss can occur in certain critical directions for which the steering phase advances match the antenna coupling delays. At these critical scan angles, many coupling contributions add inphase to produce a large impedance mismatch and minimum radiation from the array. Several different phased arrays have exhibited scanning "blind" regions that appear to be a consequence of coupling accumulation. A large, flat, homogeneous antenna array is analyzed, and a relationship is found between the critical scan angles and phase of the mutual coupling coefficients. Extensive measurements on arrays of horn antennas have shown radiation minima that correlate with coupling phase measurements and with theory. 相似文献

Mutual coupling between a pair of identical array elements is calculated from far field radiation. The reaction theorem is used on a single element to carry out a mutual coupling calculation. Evaluation of the reaction integral over a spherical surface surrounding a single waveguide element produces results better than the conventional aperture surface integral when using far fields. The method provides a simple tool for the estimate of mutual coupling given knowledge of the far field radiation of a single element. This is of great advantage during the development of array elements of unusual geometry, where analysis or other measurement techniques are difficult or less convenient.<> 相似文献

A moment method procedure is used to analyze the behavior of several different configurations consisting of planar strips in a substrate-superstrate geometry. These include the microstrip transmission line, center-fed dipole, the mutual impedance between two dipoles, and the transmission-line coupled dipole. In each case some of the basic superstrate effects are discussed. 相似文献
