Investigation of planar antennas for submillimeter receivers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A frequency-scaled model of a tapered slot antenna has been investigated. The antenna consists of a dielectric substrate which serves as a carrier for a tapered slotline. The width and the shape of the slotline and the dimensions of the substrate (including the value of the permittivity) have been varied to investigate the radiation patterns. The result is a planar antenna with a symmetrical beam in the E and H planes and a beam efficiency of almost 50%. The substrate thickness is the most important limiting factor for scaling the model to submillimeter frequencies. Taking away parts of the dielectric substrate in the front area of the antenna allows a relatively large substrate thickness. The variations of the half-power beam width versus slot parameters, versus the dielectric thickness of the substrate, and versus the length and the width of the substate are presented. In addition the beam efficiency has been measured for various frequencies, and the radiation pattern has been calculated for comparison 相似文献

The effect of various parameters of circular microstrip antennas on their radiation efficiency and the mode excitation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The numerical solution of circular microstrip antenna is carried out using the method of moment. The effect of the probe position, The dielectric permittivity of the substrate, and the substrate thickness on the radiation pattern and the mode excitation efficiency are studied. It is found that the probe position and the patch size can be used to control the mode excitation efficiency, and heigher order modes can be generated using only one feed location. Also, the finite ground plane can be used to improve the symmetry of the radiation patterns. The technique is general and can be used to investigate other scattering and antenna problems involving axisymmetric geometries. 相似文献

The radiation from a cylindrical microstrip antenna excited by a probe is analyzed. Both the cylindrical-rectangular and the wraparound elements are discussed. The current distribution on the patch is rigorously formulated using a cylindrically stratified medium approach. A set of vector integral equations is derived which governs the current distribution on the patch. The set of equations is then solved using a moment method. The input impedance and the radiation pattern are derived both exactly and in the small substrate thickness limit 相似文献

The analysis of antenna configurations in the form of a generalized superquadric loop, which includes circular, elliptical and rectangular loop geometries, is presented in this paper. Use of a Galerkin form of the moment method with piecewise sinusoidal subsectional basis and testing functions provides rapid numerical convergence and accurate representation of the antenna current. A convenient parametric representation for the superquadric curve is developed to allow a subsectional formulation using curved wire segments, rather than the commonly employed piecewise linear segments, to construct the geometry. Both magnetic frill and delta gap source models are implemented to allow a detailed study of input impedance, directivity, radiation pattern and current distribution as a function of various geometrical parameters. The results are shown to compare well with previous results for the special case of a circular loop antenna. Some useful curves are presented to aid in the design of practical superquadric loop antennas 相似文献

A novel miniaturized cavity-backed composite slot loop antenna (CBCSLA) with low profile and omnidirectional radiation similar to a short dipole is presented. The antenna displays vertical polarization while having less than lambda/100 dimension in height. The geometry of the antenna is inspired from a small magnetic loop which is realized using a slot configuration on metallic ground. Since a small slot loop antenna cannot be impedance matched, a composite geometry is devised that acts like as a small slot loop and can easily be impedance matched using this configuration. The diameter of the CBCSLA can be made as small as lambda/10 or smaller. The feeding mechanism is designed in a manner to create a circumferentially-constant current distribution around the composite loop while effectively matching to a 50 Omega coaxial feed from the antenna center. Additional methods are discussed to further enhance the bandwidth and achieve a dual-band response. The antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured. It is shown that despite their small lateral dimension and extremely small height, the miniaturized cavity-backed slot loop features extremely well input impedance match, uniform radiation pattern, low cross-polarization levels and expected gain. 相似文献

A miniature aperture-coupled microstrip antenna of very high permittivity designed at 1.66 GHz is described. Superstrates of appropriate thickness are added on the substrate for gain enhancement. Its size is dramatically reduced and the electrical performance remains almost the same as compared with the conventional microstrip antenna of low dielectric constant. Experimental data for the return loss, radiation pattern and measured antenna gain are presented to validate the design 相似文献

A theoretical study of the problem of excitation of surface waves in wraparound microstrip antennas is presented. The surface waves are obtained by using a contour integral in the complex plane. The surface-wave energy loss in the antenna truncation region is partially radiated and interfaces with the space wave. The radiation efficiency and the effect of the dielectric substrate truncation of the antenna radiation pattern are shown as functions of antenna dimensions and for two values of substrate dielectric constants 相似文献

An analysis and design of a novel ultra wideband L-strip proximity coupled slot loaded circular microstrip antenna is proposed. The theoretical model is developed using circuit theoretic approach and obtained results are validated by MoM based IE3D simulation software. Theoretical results show a good agreement with simulated results. The patch is designed on a thick substrate of thickness 11 mm for a design frequency of 3.74 GHz and provides ultra wide band operation. The parametric study is carried out for return loss, radiation pattern, antenna efficiency, radiation efficiency and gain. It is observed that the bandwidth of the antenna depends on slot parameter and L-strip feed dimensions. An ultra bandwidth of 2.82 GHz is achieved with consistent radiation characteristics. 相似文献

An antenna made of a dielectric disk with a high permittivity mounted on top of a grounded dielectric substrate of low permittivity is analyzed. A numerical procedure based on surface integral equations, derived from the equivalence principle, is used to compute the natural resonant frequencies for the HEM11 mode from which the radiation Q factor of the antenna is obtained. Then the radiation pattern of the antenna, operating at the resonant frequency evaluated previously, is computed with an electric dipole excitation located within the dielectric substrate under the dielectric disk. The effect of various parameters on the radiation characteristics of the antenna is studied, and presented in the form of diagrams. The low values of the radiation Q , combined with the high values of the dielectric Q and conductor Q , indicate that this antenna promises to be more efficient then the microstrip antenna 相似文献

Published analyses of radiation modeling for slot structures on dielectric substrate are empirical or numerical. This paper proposes exact analytical asymptotic expressions of the far-field Green's functions of a surface magnetic current element on a perfect electric conductor plane covered by a lossy dielectric substrate of finite thickness. From these expressions, the radiation pattern of both the space wave and surface wave far away from an arbitrary shaped-slot antenna structure can be calculated, provided the source distribution across the slot is known. The potentials used in the analysis are defined and their boundary conditions are expressed. The Helmholtz equation is solved in the Laplace domain and the solutions are transformed into the space domain using the inverse Hankel transform and steepest descent method. The influences of the substrate thickness and dielectric constant are analyzed using the calculated expressions. The model is validated by comparison with surface wave and space wave measurements and with numerical results obtained from a commercial electromagnetic simulator 相似文献

This paper presents 30-GHz linear-tapered slot antennas (LTSA) and 94-GHz constant-width slot antennas (CSWA) on synthesized low dielectric constant substrates (ϵr=2.2). The performance of tapered-slot antennas (TSA) is sensitive to the effective thickness of the substrate. We have reduced the effective thickness by selectively machining holes in the dielectric substrate. The machined substrate antenna radiation patterns were significantly improved independent of the machined hole size or lattice as long as the quasi-static effective thickness remained the same, even if the hole/lattice geometry is comparable to a wavelength. The method was applied at 94 GHz on a CSWA with excellent radiation pattern improvement, making it suitable for f/1.6 imaging array applications 相似文献

A solution to the problem of radiation by a narrow metal strip antenna contiguous with the edge of a dielectric substrate is presented where the substrate has parameters such that its electrical thickness is appreciable. Such an antenna may be useful at millimeter wavelengths as an integrated phased array element forming a part of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). A suitable geometry for this application is illustrated and an efficient computational procedure developed. Comparisons with experimental results for the input impedance and far-field radiation patterns show excellent agreement. The influence of the dielectric substrate on the performance of an antenna designed to operate at approximately 60 GHz is discussed. Two examples, the first involving the analysis of a coplanar strip transmission line fed antenna and the second involving impedance matching and control of cross-polarized radiation using a folded strip dipole, are given to illustrate practical applications of the analytical method to design problems 相似文献

A method of calculating the radiation fields of a multilayer plasma-clad slot antenna using discrete waveguide modes has been formulated. The fields of a plasma-covered slot radiating into a large waveguide are computed several wavelengths from the antenna. For large guides these fields represent the radiation pattern of an open structure. 相似文献

Smaller physical size and wider bandwidth are two antenna engineering goals of great interest in the wireless world. To this end, the concept of external substrate perforation is applied to patch antennas in this paper. The goal was to overcome the undesirable features of thick and high dielectric constant substrates for patch antennas without sacrificing any of the desired features, namely, small element size and bandwidth. The idea is to use substrate perforation exterior to the patch to lower the effective dielectric constant of the substrate surrounding the patch. This change in the effective dielectric constant has been observed to help mitigate the unwanted interference pattern of edge diffraction/scattering and leaky waves. The numerical data presented in this paper were generated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. Using this numerical method, a patch antenna was simulated on finite-sized ground planes of two different substrate thicknesses, with and without external substrate perforation. The computations showed the directivity drop in the radiation pattern caused by substrate propagation was noticeably improved by introducing the substrate perforation external to the patch for the case of a patch antenna on a relatively thick substrate without any loss of bandwidth. Measurements of a few patch antennas fabricated on high dielectric constant substrates with and without substrate perforation are included for completeness. Good correlation between the computed results and measurements is observed 相似文献

The radiation pattern of a line source is calculated for the case in which the source is lying on the top or the bottom surface of a lossless dielectric substrate that is mounted on the top of semi-infinite dielectric medium. It is found that in both cases the pattern along the interfaces has a null; that the pattern in the upper semi-infinite medium has a single lobe; and that the pattern in the lower semi-infinite medium has many lobes, the number of which varies with the substrate thickness. In both cases, the power radiated into the lower medium is more than that radiated into the upper medium. Applications of this calculation to remote sensing, microstrip antenna technology, and antenna arrays are discussed 相似文献

The radiation pattern of microstrip wraparound antennas was obtained here using a theory based on dyadic Green's functions for concentric-cylindrical layered media. The dielectric layer that is usually neglected as a first-order approximation was considered here. An asymptotic expression for the dyadic Green's function that takes into account only the space wave is first obtained. Radiation patterns for various radii, permittivities, and thicknesses of the dielectric layer of a microstrip wraparound antenna were obtained using as a source a uniform annular magnetic current obtained by means of a cavity model with conducting magnetic walls. The calculated values of the percent pattern coverage decreases as the thickness and the permittivity of the dielectric layer increase. The influence of the dielectric layer is more pronounced for radiation direction near that of the axis of the cylindrical surface. It is also shown that the radiation patterns at a frequency of 2.0 GHz are not much dependent on the diameter of the antenna for values from 3 to 120 in. 相似文献
