Abstract

This paper presents a broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna array for millimeter-wave applications, and the antenna array has the advantages of wide impedance bandwidth (IBW), novel CP design, and low profile. The antenna unit consists of a two-layer substrate and two pairs of magnetoelectric dipoles. Stepped microstrip lines coupled by rectangular slits form a feeder network for easy integration. The axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) is extended because a pair of parasitic patches is loaded and an elliptical perturbation is added. The simulation results show that the antenna has an ARBW of 18.6% (26.4–31.9 GHz) and an IBW of 45.5% (20.6–32.7 GHz), with a gain greater than 7.11 dBic in the IBW. To improve the gain of the antenna, a 2 × 2 antenna array is designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results show that the array has an ARBW of 16.6% (26.42–31.21 GHz), an IBW of 41.6% (22.28–33.97 GHz), a peak gain of 13.89 dBic in the IBW, the cross-polarization levels in the xoz-plane and yoz-plane are above 20 dB, and a radiation efficiency greater than 89%.

用于毫米波应用的宽带圆极化天线

本文介绍了一种用于毫米波应用的宽带圆极化（CP）天线阵列，该天线阵列具有阻抗带宽（IBW）宽、CP 设计新颖和外形小巧等优点。天线单元由两层基板和两对磁电偶极子组成。通过矩形缝隙耦合的阶梯微带线构成了一个馈电网络，便于集成。由于加载了一对寄生贴片并添加了椭圆形扰动，因此轴向比带宽（ARBW）得到了扩展。仿真结果表明，该天线的 ARBW 为 18.6%（26.4-31.9 GHz），IBW 为 45.5%（20.6-32.7 GHz），IBW 增益大于 7.11 dBic。为了提高天线增益，设计、制造并测量了一个 2 × 2 天线阵列。测量结果表明，该阵列的 ARBW 为 16.6%（26.42-31.21 GHz），IBW 为 41.6%（22.28-33.97 GHz），IBW 的峰值增益为 13.89 dBic，xoz 平面和 yoz 平面的交叉极化水平高于 20 dB，辐射效率高于 89%。
