Abstract
Cross-band interferences could deteriorate the performance of a dual-band shared-aperture phased array antenna (SAPAA), especially in small frequency ratio SAPAAs. This letter proposes novel self-decoupling techniques in an L-/S-band SAPAA to achieve out-of-band suppressions as low as −27.4 and 20.3 dBi for the radiations of L and S bands, respectively, and the cross-band port isolations are both more than 30 dB, with peak values exceeding 60 dB, without the need for additional filter circuits or decoupling structures. In addition, new technique of capacitive coupling folded arm is proposed to realize wide-beam and wideband characteristics. The shared-aperture structure is formed by a staggered arrangement of 4 × 4 L-/S-band endfire dipole antennas. As a result, the scanning range of the SAPAA can achieve ±60°/±70° in the E-/H-plane at 1.5 GHz to 1.8 GHz with voltage standing-wave ratios (VSWRs) under 3.3, and it can achieve ±60° in both the E-/H-plane at 2.5 GHz to 2.9 GHz with VSWRs under 3.3. The consistency of the measurement and simulation validates the designs.
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.
