Abstract
This letter proposed a dual-polarized tightly coupled dipole linear array (TCDLA) with high cross-polarization discrimination (XPD). Building upon conventional TCDLA architectures, this work develops enhanced configurations through capacitive coupling structures and matching material loading to broaden operational bandwidth. A dual-layer ground structure is implemented to achieve lower profile characteristics. For the first time, an interleaved array configuration is proposed to address the inherent poor XPD caused by asymmetric array distribution in conventional TCDLA. At last, 5.7:1 bandwidth ratio (0.35 GHz to 2 GHz) with 60° maximum scan angle is obtained by the proposed antenna, and its XPD exceeds 20 dB across the entire operating band.
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.
