Abstract

The communication explores the development of a Nolen matrix (NM) operating at 26 GHz (25.25–26.75 GHz) using E-plane rectangular waveguides (RWs). The Nolen network comprises five coaxial input ports and seven outputs, each linked to a linear array of nine elements. This design yields a compact fully metallic

$7 \times 9$

slot array with low profile, high efficiency, and beam-switching capabilities. Experimental results closely align with theoretical and simulated data, demonstrating gain values surpassing 21 dBi and measured total mean efficiencies of 80% across all scenarios. Moreover, the antenna’s steering ranges from −40° to +35°. Given its performance and frequency versatility, potential applications for this antenna include wireless communications, radar systems, satellite communications, and remote sensing.

基于全金属诺伦矩阵的五波束阵列天线，适用于 26 千兆赫的 5G 应用

该通信探讨了利用 E 平面矩形波导（RW）开发工作频率为 26 GHz（25.25-26.75 GHz）的诺伦矩阵（NM）。诺伦网络包括五个同轴输入端口和七个输出端口，每个端口都与一个由九个元件组成的线性阵列相连。这种设计产生了一个结构紧凑的全金属 $7 \times 9$ 槽阵列，具有低剖面、高效率和波束切换能力。实验结果与理论和模拟数据非常吻合，显示增益值超过 21 dBi，在所有情况下测得的总平均效率为 80%。此外，该天线的转向范围为 -40° 至 +35°。鉴于其性能和频率通用性，该天线的潜在应用领域包括无线通信、雷达系统、卫星通信和遥感。
