Abstract
In this letter, a circularly polarized (CP) dual-beam frequency-scanning antenna with high scanning rate is designed, which is constructed by a double-layer orthogonal spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) transmission line after cosine modulation. The double-layer orthogonal SSPP element has strong dispersion characteristics and dispersion separation, which is helpful to realize dual-beam continuous scanning with high scanning rate and large scanning range. By adopting cosine modulation on the SSPP transmission line, the surface wave in the form of slow wave can be disturbed to form leaky wave radiation. Finally, the orthogonal cosine-type SSPP structures of the upper and lower layers are shifted by about a quarter wavelength to achieve circular polarization. The experimental results show that the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of the circularly polarized dual-beam frequency scanning antenna is 5.14 GHz to 5.41 GHz, the relative bandwidth is 5.12%, the continuous scanning range is 33°, and the scanning rate can reach 6.45°/%. The average radiation gain is 8.18 dBi, and the maximum gain is 8.79 dBi. The overall radiation efficiency is more than 50%, and the average radiation efficiency is 61.1%, which has a good circular polarization radiation performance. The design in this letter greatly improves the scanning rate of the circular polarization frequency-scanning antennas and has broad application prospects in modern communication systems requiring fast response.
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.
