It generates a range-dependent beampattern through a small frequency increment among the antenna elements, which overcomes the weakness of phased-array in this respect, so it has many potential applications. However, in a traditional frequency diverse array with a fixed frequency offset, the transmit beampattern has coupling range and angle response. In order to decouple the range-angle beampattern response, a frequency diverse array with a nonuniform frequency offset is proposed. In this letter, three types of FDA with non-uniform frequency offset are described, and their performance is compared through numerical analysis, such as low side-lobe.","PeriodicalId":301959,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128902451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a conventional liquid crystal microstrip patch antenna with a row of shorting pins in the middle of E-plane. Owing to the introduction of shorting pins, this antenna can work at even mode and odd mode within the frequency band. The resonant frequency of even mode is lower than that of odd mode. Therefore, through choosing liquid crystal as its substrate, this antenna can alter its operation modes by varying the permittivity of liquid crystal. More importantly, beam scanning can be achieved since the radiation patterns of two modes are divergent. By using characteristic mode analysis method, an antenna model at Ka-band has been investigated. The simulation results show that the main beam can scan from -10 to broadside continuously at 28 GHz in E-plane.","PeriodicalId":301959,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131901989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
