Abstract
In this letter, a high-gain small-aperture traveling-wave endfire antenna based on phase-reversal technique is proposed in the platform of double-sided parallel stripline (DSPSL). The field cancellation effect in conventional DSPSL causes a trade-off between high gain and small aperture. In this work, it is effectively broken by the introduction of phase-reversal crossover. As a result, high-gain endfire radiation at a small aperture can be achieved. The developed antenna forms a good endfire radiation property in the frequency range of 14.2 GHz to 15.6 GHz. The maximum endfire gain is measured to be 16 dBi at 15.1 GHz with a small cross-sectional aperture of only 0.15λ × 0.06λ. The simulated and measured results are found in good agreement with each other in the entire operating band. The proposed antenna has a few unique advantages—that is, high gain, small aperture, low profile, and low cost—and it is valuable for applications in advanced wireless communication.
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.
