Abstract

This article presents an innovative design for a low-profile, high-gain circularly polarized (CP) antenna using a single-layer metasurface (MTS). The proposed design incorporates an MTS layer, comprising a 4 × 4 array of hexagonal-shaped patches, printed on the top layer of the substrate. The bottom layer features a coplanar waveguide-fed slotted ground. Circular polarization and broadside radiation are achieved through the application of characteristic mode analysis (CMA). CMA is employed to simultaneously excite desired modes, aiming for wideband circular polarization and gain enhancement. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the design, with compact dimensions of 0.67λ0 × 0.67λ0 × 0.04λ0. The measurements demonstrate an impressive impedance bandwidth of 84.3% within the 3.7–9.1 GHz. Additionally, a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 18.6% is observed between 4.96 and 5.98 GHz and 3.74% between 8.38 and 8.7 GHz. The antenna exhibits excellent radiation pattern characteristics, featuring a maximum gain of 10.08 dBi at 7.1 GHz. The radiation pattern is symmetrical with broadside directionality, making the antenna well-suited for sensing applications.

用于 C 波段应用的使用 CMA 的单层多模高增益圆极化元面天线

本文介绍了一种使用单层元表面（MTS）的低剖面、高增益圆极化（CP）天线的创新设计。拟议的设计包含一个 MTS 层，由 4 × 4 的六边形贴片阵列组成，印制在基板的顶层。底层是共面波导馈电槽地。圆极化和宽边辐射是通过应用特征模式分析（CMA）实现的。CMA 可同时激发所需的模式，从而实现宽带圆极化和增益增强。实验结果验证了设计的有效性，其尺寸仅为 0.67λ0 × 0.67λ0 × 0.04λ0。测量结果表明，在 3.7-9.1 GHz 频率范围内，阻抗带宽达到 84.3%，令人印象深刻。此外，4.96 和 5.98 GHz 之间的 3-dB 轴向比带宽为 18.6%，8.38 和 8.7 GHz 之间为 3.74%。该天线具有出色的辐射模式特性，在 7.1 GHz 时的最大增益为 10.08 dBi。辐射模式是对称的，具有宽方向性，使天线非常适合传感应用。
