Circularly Polarized Linear Array Antenna Using a Dielectric Image Line

A new circularly polarized antenna using a dielectric image line is proposed. This antenna is composed of a slotted conductive plane and a rectangular dielectric rod. This paper describes the design of and experimental results achieved with the circularly polarized array antenna fed by a dielectric image line. The fundemental characteristics of the image line are also presented. Since this line's losses are far lower than the microstrip line losses in the millimeter wavebands, antenna feed line losses expect to be also very low. Bandwidth within the 2-dB axial ratio was more than 7 percent, and the angle range within the same ratio was more than +-7.8 degrees at 29.5 GHz. This antenna is far superior to the microstrip line feed array antenna in the millimeter wavebands.     

A single-layer slotted leaky waveguide array antenna for mobilereception of direct broadcast from satellite

This paper proposes a single-layer slotted leaky waveguide array antenna for mobile DBS reception. A single-layer feed structure is proposed, where the feed waveguide is in the same layer as the radiating waveguides. This results in the simple fabrication of slotted waveguide arrays, suitable for mass production. Short radiating leaky waveguides are used to get a large beam-tilting angle of about 50° for the horizontal installation of the antenna and a beamwidth broad enough to dispense with mechanical steering in the elevation plane. A prototype antenna sized 30 cm by 21 cm has a maximum of 74% efficiency and more than 69% efficiency within the DBS band. It also has a broad l-dB beamwidth of 7.5° in the elevation plane, which enables clear DBS reception by a picture tube display over about one-third the area of Japan without elevation tracking

Subreflectarrays for Reflector Surface Distortion Compensation

With the increasing interest in the applications of large deployable reflector antennas operating at high frequencies, the requirement on the reflector surface accuracy becomes more demanding. Thermal effects inevitably cause certain reflector surface distortions, thus degrading the overall antenna performance. This paper introduces a novel reflector surface distortion compensation technique using a subreflectarray and presents detailed discussions. A microstrip reflectarray is used as a subreflector, illuminated by a primary feed. By properly adjusting the additional phase shift provided by the subreflectarray, the aperture phase errors caused by the main reflector surface distortions are compensated, resulting in a considerably improved antenna performance. As an example, a distorted 20-m offset parabolic reflector antenna operating at X-band is successfully compensated by a subreflectarray, and the simulation results are compared with those obtained by array feed and shaped subreflector compensation techniques. The microstrip subreflectarray is low-profile, lightweight, and cost-effective. Only one primary feed is required, and a reconfigurable design can be achieved if electronically reconfigurable reflectarray elements are adopted.      

Grating Lobe Suppression of Narrow-Wall Slotted Hollow Waveguide Millimeter-Wave Planar Antenna for Arbitrarily Linear Polarization

A high-gain and high-efficiency slotted waveguide planar antenna is developed in the millimeter-wave band. Forty-five degree inclined polarization is required for automotive radar systems. In the design of slotted waveguide array for arbitrarily linear polarization, slot spacing is one guide wavelength which is larger than a wavelength in free space. Consequently, grating lobes appear in the radiation pattern. So, we developed a slotted waveguide planar antenna composed of post-loaded narrow-wall slots and a single-layer alternating-phase feeding circuit. A planar antenna with suppressed grating lobes has been fabricated and its RF performance has been measured. The measured gain is 33.2 dBi and antenna efficiency is 56% at 76 GHz. Grating lobe level is -28.6 dB lower than main lobe level. Since the proposed structure remains simple, the antenna is expected to be manufactured by metal injection molding for low cost     

A two-beam slotted leaky waveguide array for mobile reception ofdual-polarization DBS

A two-beam slotted leaky waveguide array for mobile reception of dual-polarization direct broadcast from satellite (DBS) is realized in a single-layer structure. Two feed waveguides attached at both ends of cross-slotted radiating waveguides excite the leaky waves propagating in opposite directions. Each of them radiates either of two circularly polarized waves in symmetrical beam directions. Balanced design of two beams for each polarization imposes symmetry in the array design of slots. The slot coupling distribution is optimized for the maximum gain under this symmetry condition. A model antenna in about a 300-mm square is fabricated for experiments in the 12-GHz band. Antenna efficiency of 71% and 64% is obtained for each beam in different polarizations     

Millimeter Wave Substrate Integrated Waveguide Antennas: Design and Fabrication Analysis

The paper presents a new concept in antenna design, whereby a photo-imageable thick-film process is used to integrate a waveguide antenna within a multilayer structure. This has yielded a very compact, high performance antenna working at high millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, with a high degree of repeatability and reliability in antenna construction. Theoretical and experimental results for 70 GHz mm-wave integrated antennas, fabricated using the new technique, are presented. The antennas were formed from miniature slotted waveguide arrays using up to 18 layers of photo-imageable material. To enhance the electrical performance a novel folded waveguide array was also investigated. The fabrication process is analyzed in detail and the critical issues involved in the fabrication cycle are discussed. The losses in the substrate integrated waveguide have been calculated. The performance of the new integrated antenna is compared to conventional metallic, air-filled waveguide antennas, and also to conventional microstrip antenna arrays operating at the same frequencies.
