Abstract
Generally, thedimension of the antenna arrays is fixed after manufacturing, limiting their radiation characteristics. Due to the existence of interconnected characteristics between elements in a tightly coupled dipole array (TCDA), this letter proposes a novel modular TCDA design with joinable components. The parasitic metal strip in the H-plane facilitates the deigned planar dual-polarized TCDA, which employs the joinable design to achieve an impedance bandwidth of 9.4:1 [(1 to 9.4) GHz], with an active voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 3. Additionally, it enables beam scanning up to 80° in E/H-plane. Specifically, an arbitrary dimension of TCDA can be assembled in a short time and all units can be reused. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the concept of joinable design introduced in ultrawide and wide-angle scanning TCDAs is presented for the first time.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
