Bifocal dual reflector antenna

A bifocal dual reflector antenna is similar to and has better scan capability than a classical Cassegrain reflector antenna. The method used in determining the reflector surfaces is a modification of a design method for the dielectric bifocal lens. Computed radiation characteristics of the bifocal reflector system are compared with those of a classical Cassegrain reflector system. The results confirm that the bifocal reflector has superior scanning performance.

A wider band microstrip antenna for circular polarization

Circular polarization is achieved by separating two degenerate orthogonal modes in an annular ring patch antenna, by using an ear at the outer periphery. The analysis of such a structure is performed by using the generalized transmission line model. It is found theoretically that this structure can be used to generate circular polarization over a wider frequency range than other structures. An annular ring is designed and its performance is evaluated. Good agreement between the theory and the experiment is obtained. It is also found that the axial ratio bandwidth is higher for the TM₁₂ mode than the TM₃₂ mode of operation in an annular ring antenna     

Module sharing design technique for dual reflector antenna

Module sharing technique for a dual reflector antenna is presented, which makes different apertured main reflectors of the same focus sharing one set of module by means of optimizing the subreflector. To optimize the subreflector, a fast convergence optimization method is given with a satisfactory result.     

Rectangular microstrip antenna for circular polarization

Richmond's reaction integral equation method is used to design a rectangular microstrip patch to produce a circular polarization. A rectangular patch with the aspect ratioa = W_{x}/W_{y}, in the range 1.015- 1.02 and corner fed by a microstrip line, produces circular polarization. For substrate with thicknessd = 0.16cm,a = 1.017the nearly square patch gives maximum bandwidth.     

Electric tripole antenna for circular polarization

The feasibility of using the tripole antenna for circular polarization was experimentally investigated. Measured impedance and radiation patterns were in agreement with the predictions from the infinitesimal tripole model. For simultaneous operation in both senses of circular polarization the tripole antenna must be fed by a special separator network, preferably of the nonreciprocal type.     

A design procedure for classical offset dual reflector antennaswith circular apertures

A geometrical optics procedure for designing electrically optimized classical offset dual reflector antennas with circular apertures is presented. Equations are derived that allow the size and spacing of the main and subreflectors of the antenna system, along with the feed horn subintended angle, to be used as input variables of the design procedure. The procedure, together with these equations, yields an optimized design, starting from general system requirements. The procedure is demonstrated by designing both an offset Cassegrain and an offset Gregorian antenna, and is validated by analyzing their radiation patterns using physical optics surface current integration on both the main and subreflectors     

Analysis of circular reflector antenna covered by concentricdielectric radome

The radiation from a two-dimensional cylindrical reflector antenna with a concentric dielectric radome is analyzed in an accurate manner for both H and E polarization cases. The problem is first formulated in terms of the dual series equations, and then it is regularized by using Riemann-Hilbert problem technique. The resulting matrix equation is solved numerically, with a guaranteed accuracy, and sufficiently little CPU time is needed. The feed directivity is included in the analysis by the complex source point method. Various characteristic patterns are obtained for the front-fed reflector antenna geometries in this study     

Printed figure-of-eight wire antenna for circular polarization

A new printed wire antenna with circular polarization properties is presented. The geometry of the printed wire which takes the form of a figure-of-eight has a total length of 1.3/spl lambda//sub o/ and serves as a nonresonant traveling-wave antenna. It is shown that a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 15% can be achieved. The half-power and 3-dB axial ratio beamwidth is approximately /spl plusmn/45/spl deg/, while its gain is of the order of 6.5 dB.     

Printed ring slot antenna for circular polarization

A new design of a microstrip-line-fed circularly polarized printed ring slot antenna is proposed. Circular polarization (CP) radiation of the proposed design is achieved by introducing proper asymmetry in the ring slot structure and feeding the ring slot using a microstrip line at 45° from the introduced asymmetry. The asymmetry introduced in the proposed design is a meandered-slot section and the proposed CP design can be applied to printed square and annular ring slot antennas. Prototypes of the proposed design have been implemented. Experimental results show that good CP radiation performances are obtained and the 3 dB axial-ratio CP bandwidths obtained for the square and annular ring slot antennas are about 4.3% and 3.5%, respectively     

Dual-frequency microstrip antenna with dual circular polarisation

A single-feed dual-frequency microstrip patch antenna that can produce dual circular polarisations (CP) is presented. The microstrip antenna has an annular-ring patch and is excited by an L-shaped microstrip line through the coupling of a ring slot in the ground plane. The occurrence of the dual CP is because the magnetic currents circulating along the ring slot at two specific frequencies have opposite flowing directions. Both simulated and measured results are provided to validate the CP performance of the proposed antenna

Cross polarization in dual reflector antennas--A PO and PTD analysis

A physical optics (PO) and physical theory of diffraction (PTD) analysis of symmetric and offset dual reflector antennas is performed. It is shown that in most cases PO gives sufficient accuracy, but the PTD correction can be of importance to determine the depolarization, especially if the subreflector edge taper is low.     

A novel frequency-scanned reflector antenna

Theoretical and experimental results are presented for a frequency-scanned antenna composed of a line source and a frequency-scanned reflection grating that is shaped to a cylindrical reflector. The principle considering is to select the grating geometry such that the first higher-order diffracted wave propagates and serves as the frequency-scanned beam. An analytical solution for the cylindrical reflector geometry that gives a line focus is given. The grating structure considered consists of an array of dipoles placed over a ground plane. The design of the dipole grating for optimum blazing (i.e., for optimal power conversion from the incident wave to the diffracted wave) is discussed. For the theoretical analysis Floquet's theorem and the method of moments are used     

A compact dual band-notched UWB circular monopole antenna with parasitic resonators

A compact dual band-notched Ultra-wideband (UWB) circular monopole antenna that has two parasitic resonators in the ground plane is presented in this paper. The Inverted–U and Iron shaped parasitic resonators are located on the back side of the radiating patch to achieve the band rejection characteristics from 5 to 5.4 GHz for WLAN and 7.8 to 8.4 GHz for ITU band respectively. By cutting a rectangular slot on the ground plane, additional resonance is excited at the higher frequency band, and hence much wider impedance bandwidth can be attained. Applications of the proposed dual band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna structure with 5.2 GHz and 8.2 GHz center frequencies are demonstrated experimentally. Measured and simulated results of the magnitude of S₁₁, radiation patterns and realized gains show good agreement.     

Low-profile dual-frequency circular microstrip antenna for dual ISMbands

A novel dual-frequency design of a singIe-layer, single-feed circular microstrip antenna for dual ISM bands is demonstrated. Due to the embedding of an offset open-ring slot in a circular patch, a novel dual-frequency operation with its two operating modes centred at about frequencies 2.4 and 5.2 GHz has been obtained. The two operating frequencies have similar broadside radiation patterns and same polarisation planes, and small antenna-gain variation. Details of the antenna design and experimental results for the proposed antenna are presented
