In this article, we investigate an optically transparent broadband water antenna, which is composed of a cross‐shaped slot feeding structure and a thin layer of water supported by a transparent dielectric slab. This water antenna can be analyzed as an embedded stacked dielectric resonator (DR) antenna (DRA) mounted on a ground plane. Two distinct resonator modes—namely, DRA mode and dielectric‐loaded slot (DLS) mode—are excited to achieve a good impendence matching over a very wide frequency range. A prototype antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured. Measured results demonstrate that the designed water antenna exhibits a broad impedance bandwidth of about 37% from 1.07 to 1.56 GHz with antenna efficiency better than 65% and broadside radiation characteristics with low cross‐polarizations. 相似文献

This article presented a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity‐backed self‐diplexing antenna array with frequency beam scanning characteristic. The proposed array consists of 16 SIW cavity‐backed slot antennas. The SIW cavity‐backed slot antenna can be fed by two separate ports to resonate at two different frequencies and achieve high isolation better than 20 dB between two input ports. The proposed element is a typical self‐diplexing antenna. These cavity‐backed slot antennas are shunt‐fed by a compact 1 to 16 SIW power divider and series‐fed by a set of microstrip lines, respectively. As a result, this array achieves an unidirectional radiation pattern at 10.2 GHz with high gain of 15.10 dBi, and a frequency beam scanning characteristic from 7.0 to 9.0 GHz ranging from ?50° to 46°. 相似文献

A method to enhance the gain of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) beam scanning antenna is proposed in this article. 2 × 2 SIW cavity‐backed sub‐arrays are employed in array design. The antenna is constructed on two layers. The top layer places four SIW cavity‐backed sub‐arrays as radiating elements and the bottom layer is an SIW transmission line to feed the sub‐arrays. Beam scanning feature can be obtained due to the frequency dispersion. Moreover, through separating radiators to the other layer and using 2 × 2 SIW cavity‐backed sub‐arrays as radiating parts, the antenna gain is improved significantly. For a linear array, 4.1 to 6.8 dB gain enhancement is achieved compared to a conventional SIW beam scanning antenna with the same length. Then, the linear array is expanded to form a planar array for further gain improvement. A 64‐element planar beam scanning array is designed, fabricated, and tested. Experimental results show that the proposed planar array has a bandwidth from 18.5 GHz to 21. 5 GHz with beam scanning angle from ?5° to 11.5° and gain in the range of 20.5 to 21.8 dBi. The proposed high gain beam scanning antennas have potential applications in radar detection and imaging. 相似文献

A beam scanning Fabry‐Pérot cavity antenna (FPCA) for 28 GHz‐band is presented in this article. The proposed antenna consists of a slot‐fed patch antenna and several layers of perforated superstrates with different dielectric constant. The beam of the antenna can be controlled by moving the superstrate over the antenna. By increasing the offset between the feeding antenna and the superstrate, a larger tilt angle can be obtained. The size of the antenna is 0.95λ0 × 0.95λ0 × 0.48λ0 at 28.5 GHz. The results show the proposed antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth (S11 < ‐10 dB) of 10.5% (27.2‐30.2 GHz), and the beam can be scanned from 0° to 14° in the yoz‐plane with the offset changed from 0 mm to 2 mm. The gain of the antenna is enhanced by 5 dBi in comparison with the feeding antenna without the superstrate, which ranges from 10.91 to 11.53 dBi with the different offset. The proposed antenna is fabricated and shows a good agreement with simulated result. 相似文献

In this article, a novel electrically small eighth‐mode substrate integrated waveguide (EMSIW) based leaky‐wave antenna (LWA) in planar environment is presented. The proposed antenna uses 1/8th mode SIW resonator which helps to improve compactness of the design while maintaining high gain and increased scanning angle. The proposed SIW cavity is excited by a 50 Ω microstrip line feeding to resonate at dominant TE110 mode in X‐band. The dimensions of the resonators are adjusted to keep resonant mode at same frequency. The fabricated prototype is approximately 5λ0 long. Measured results show that the proposed leaky‐wave antenna is able to operate within frequency range of 8‐10 GHz with beam scanning range of 51° and maximum gain of 13.31 dBi. 相似文献

A wideband circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) loaded with the partially reflective surface for gain enhancement is presented in this article. First, the DRA is excited by a microstrip line through modified stepped ring cross‐slot to generate the circular polarization. Four modified parasitic metallic plates are sequentially placed around the DRA for greatly widening the axial‐ratio bandwidth. Then, a partially reflective surface is introduced for enhancing the gain performance and further improving the CP bandwidth as well. Finally, an optimized prototype is fabricated to verify the design concept. The measured results show that the proposed DRA achieves 54.3% impedance bandwidth (VSWR<2) and 54.9% 3‐dB AR bandwidth. Besides, its average and peak gains are 10.7 dBic and 14.2 dBic, respectively. Wide CP band and high gains make the proposed DRA especially attractive for some broadband wireless applications such as satellite communication and remote sensing. 相似文献

This letter investigates an integrated antenna configuration for WLAN/WiMAX applications. The proposed composite antenna configuration is simply the grouping of ring dielectric resonator along with reformed square‐shaped slot antenna. Three significant characteristics of proposed article are: (1) aperture act as magnetic dipole and excite HE11δ mode in ring dielectric resonator antenna; (2) reforming of square aperture generates orthogonal modes in ring DRA and creates CP in lower frequency band; (3) annular‐shaped Microstrip line along with reformed square aperture creates CP wave in upper frequency band. With the purpose of certifying the simulated outcomes, prototype of proposed structure is fabricated and tested. Good settlement is to be got between experimental and software generated outcome. Experimental outcomes show that the proposed radiating structure is operating over 2 frequency bands that is, 2.88‐3.72 and 5.4‐5.95 GHz. Measured 3‐dB axial ratio bandwidth in lower and upper frequency band is approximately 9.52% (3.0‐3.4 GHz) and 5.85% (5.64‐5.98 GHz), respectively. These outcomes indicate that the proposed composite antenna structure is appropriate for WLAN and WiMAX applications. 相似文献

In this communication a 2 × 2 dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) array is proposed with a wideband frequency response. An air bridgeless coplanar waveguide (CPW) power divider network is first time used to feed the 2 × 2 DRA array. Four rectangular DRAs are used as array element and exited in TE111 mode by four slots at the end of the CPW lines in the feed network. The straight CPW phase delay line in feed network is further meandered resulting an enhanced radiation performance. The proposed DRA array exhibits a wideband response with an impedance bandwidth of 16% while maintaining a stable broadside radiation pattern with the gain range from 8 to 9.4 dBi. The proposed design is fabricated and measured, reaching good agreement with simulation results. 相似文献

In this article, a wideband leaky‐wave antenna is designed for consistent gain and wide beam scanning angle by using the proposed multilayered substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) composite right/left‐handed transmission line (CRLH TL). The proposed SIW CRLH structure consists of two parts: an interdigital fingers slot of rotating 45° etched on the upper ground of the SIW, and a rotated parasitic patch beneath the slot. Due to the continuous phase constants change from negative to positive values of the proposed SIW‐CRLH under the balanced condition, the designed LWA can achieves a continuous beam‐scanning property from backward to forward over the operating frequency band. The designed antenna is fabricated and measured, the measured and simulated results are in good agreements with each other, indicating that the designed antenna obtains a measured continuous main beam scanning from backward ?78° to forward +76° over the frequency range from 7.7 to 12.8 GHz with a consistent gain of more than 9.5 dB. Besides, the designed antenna also exhibits a measured 3‐dB gain bandwidth of 45.1% with maximum gain of 15 dB. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 26:731–738, 2016. 相似文献

Circularly polarized (CP), beam steering antennas are preferred to reduce the disruptive effects such as multi‐path fading and co‐channel interference in wireless communications systems. Nowadays, intensive studies have been carried out not only on the specific antenna array design but also their feeding networks to achieve circular polarization and beam steering characteristics. A compact broadband CP antenna array with a low loss feed network design is aimed in this work. To improve impedance and CP bandwidth, a feed network with modified Butler matrix and a compact ultra‐wideband square slot antenna element are designed. With this novel design, more than 3 GHz axial ratio BW is achieved. In this study, a broadband meander line compact double box coupler with impedance bandwidth over 4.8‐7 GHz frequency and the phase error less than 3° is used. Also the measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed beam steering array antenna is 60% (from 4.2 to 7.8 GHz). The minimum 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth between ports, support 4.6–6.8 GHz frequency range. The measured peak gain of the proposed array antenna is 8.9 dBic that could scan solid angle about ~91 degree. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 26:146–153, 2016. 相似文献

This review article provides an extensive literature survey on the research progress of dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) at millimeter‐wave frequency band that includes concepts of DRAs, their empirical formulae and design methodologies for different shaped DRAs at 60 GHz frequency band. The different shaped DRAs such as cylindrical, rectangular, hexagonal, and octagonal at 60 GHz are designed, simulated and analyzed using CST microwave studio solver. The ?10 dB impedance bandwidth of cylindrical, rectangular, hexagonal, and octagonal DRAs are 52.7 to 62.8 GHz, 57 to 62.2 GHz, 55.8 to 64.2 GHz, and 54.2 to 63.5 GHz, respectively. The idea behind getting broad impedance bandwidth is due to use of double‐layer substrate with different permittivity (εr1 = 4 and εr2 = 11.9). Empirical formulae are deduced for hexagonal and octagonal DRA, by studying the analogy of dielectric resonator geometry. Consequently, the mode of different shaped DRAs, that is, HEM111 and TE111 are investigated by the electric field and magnetic field distribution. With these analysis, a comprehensive research review over the period of the last two decades is carried for investigating various techniques, targeted to realized gain, circular polarization, and impedance bandwidth. Along with these analysis the state‐of‐the‐art at different shaped DRAs at mm‐wave frequency band are also reported. 相似文献

Investigation results are presented for a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a central airgap, which is excited using a coaxial probe connected to a wire monopole. By selecting the proper values of airgap and monopole heights, a desired impedance bandwidth (S11 ≤ ?10 dB) from 40% to 67% can be achieved. The proposed DRA provides monopole like omni‐directional radiation patterns with low crosspolarization levels throughout the bandwidth. Prototype DRA was fabricated with equal heights of the airgap and monopole and experimentally verified for both the impedance matching and radiation performance. Simulated and measured bandwidths of 67% and 64%, respectively, were obtained with acceptable peak realized gain. The simulated and measured radiation patterns agree well. Furthermore, this DRA is investigated for beam focusing properties when implemented in a circular array consisting of four‐elements on a circular finite ground plane. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The antenna covers the frequency ranges from 1.41 to 2.59 GHz, and 4.73 to 6.06 GHz with the corresponding impedance bandwidth of 59% and 24.65%, respectively. The simulation results fulfill the bandwidth requirements of IEEE 802.11a/b/g (2.4‐2.484 GHz/5.15‐5.35 GHz/5.725‐5.825 GHz) for Wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna has simple structure, easy to fabricate and its measured radiation pattern shows a reliable performance in the desired operating bands. 相似文献

In this article, a new rhombic dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed. Dominant mode and a few of the higher order modes that are excited in this DRA are identified through eigen mode analysis performed through computer simulation technology (CST) simulation. Empirical formulae for calculating the resonant frequency of these identified modes are developed through curve‐fitting approximation. Feeding techniques and possible ways of exciting some of these modes generated in such DRA are also detailed. Investigations are further carried out to identify appropriate feed positions to achieve broadband operation of such DRA geometry. The radiation patterns at different frequencies and variation of gain within the antenna bandwidth are measured for a fabricated prototype and compared with the simulation results. 相似文献

This article explains a novel approach for achieving wideband characteristics in case of dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). Wideband characteristic has been realized by uniting the concept of vastu purusha mandala (VPM)‐based fractal geometry with dielectric resonator antenna. VPM is Hindu religion‐based fractal geometry, which provides the advantage of decrease in volume to surface area of the radiator. This concept is useful to enhance impedance bandwidth of proposed antenna. For the purpose of validation, prototype of proposed antenna design has been fabricated as well as tested. After experimental testing, it is confirmed that the proposed radiator functions over the frequency range 2.6‐4.34 GHz with a percentage bandwidth of 46.52%. The proposed radiating arrangement provides peak gain of 6.3 dBi and stable far‐field characteristics. All these features make it applicable for WiMAX application (3.3 GHz). 相似文献

Design of a subarray with special radiation pattern for low profile wide‐angle scanning phased array
A low profile subarray with a special radiation pattern for the wide‐angle H‐plane scanning phased array is presented. Five parallel dipoles located above a metal ground serve as the radiator. The differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used to obtain the weights for a special radiation pattern, which is realized by a corresponding feed network. The overall dimension of the proposed subarray is only 0.55λ0 × 0.55λ0 × 0.14λ0. The prototype is fabricated and measured, and the measurement results are consistent with the simulation results. Because of the special radiation pattern and compact size, this subarray is suitable as an element in the wide‐angle scanning phased array. A uniform linear array consisting of five proposed subarrays is built in high frequency structural simulator, and the simulated results show that the main beam can scan nearly from ?70° to +70° in the H‐plane with a gain fluctuation less than 3 dB. 相似文献

This article presents a compact hybrid X‐band radiator, by combining the multiple resonances of two resonating and radiating structures, namely (a) a cylindrical dielectric resonator (CDR) and (b) a new type of slot geometry along with a U‐shaped microstrip feedline. Excitation of a few higher order modes in CDR structure is also observed and further investigated. The detailed performance analysis of the proposed geometry has been carried out both in frequency and time domains. Some design guidelines have been formulated which enable the design of the antenna for different bands. The proposed structure offers 46.3% (S11 ≤ ?10 dB and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) < 2) (measured) impedance bandwidth and about 4.5 dBi peak gain. The proposed antenna has the potential to be an ideal candidate for X‐band sensor applications. 相似文献

A new dual‐band compact hybrid resonator antenna is proposed in this article. The analysis is based on electric‐field and magnetic‐field integral equations. In the proposed design, the structure uses a combination of a thin circular disk dielectric resonator (DR) and a microstrip‐fed dog‐bone slot. This dog‐bone slot works as a half‐wavelength radiator and as a feed circuit for the DR. By optimizing the structure's parameters, the hybrid structure allows not only the DR to resonate at one frequency band but also the dog‐bone slot to resonate at the other one with the required frequency separation. Based on the above design concept, an antenna prototype for wireless communication applications centered at 1.9 and 2.45 GHz is successfully designed, fabricated, and tested. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A filtering antenna using dielectric strip resonator and parallel microstrip feed line is proposed to achieve compact dielectric size and filtering response without gain reduction. The compact dielectric size is contributed by the dielectric strip resonator with high permittivity operated in the TMδ1 cavity mode, whose electric field distribution along the short side is far less than half‐wavelength distribution. Therefore, the size of the proposed dielectric strip resonator is smaller than the traditional dielectric patch resonator operated in the TM11 cavity mode. Additionally, the parallel placed microstrip line not only can excite the dielectric strip resonator for filtering response without gain reduction, but also can provide one upper‐edge radiation null for frequency selectivity enhancement. Compared with the reported filtering dielectric antennas, the proposed design exhibits the features of compact dielectric size, simple structure and wide stopband. For demonstration, one prototype operating at 4.9 GHz is fabricated, achieves the dielectric size of 0.00078 λ3 0 (λ0 is the wavelength in the free space at the center frequency), the measured peak gain of 7.1 dBi, the 10‐dB impedance matching bandwidth of 4%, the stopband (> 16 dB) up to 1.84 f0, and the cross‐polarization level of 20 dB within 3‐dB beam range. 相似文献

A wide‐beam circular polarization (CP) antenna and a wide‐angle scanning phased array based on novel polarization rotation reflective surface (PRRS) are proposed. The CP wide‐beam pattern is obtained by the combination of the radiation wave from the patch antenna and the orthogonal reflected wave from the PRRS with a 90° phase difference. The proposed CP wide‐beam antenna obtains the patterns with the 3‐dB beamwidth more than 136° and the axial ratio (AR) beamwidth more than 132° in the xoz‐plane. Furthermore, an eight‐element phased array based on the wide‐beam CP antenna element is also developed. The measured results show that the main beam of the array can scan from ?65° to 65° with a gain fluctuation less than 3 dB and the ARs at every scanning angle less than 3 dB. 相似文献
