We are planning to provide multiple UHDTV programs for the practical broadcasting by using left-hand circular polarization in the same frequency band. For the UHDTV satellite broadcasting reception, we manufactured and tested a dual-circularly polarized reflector antenna that has a feed antenna composed of a 2 × 2 microstrip antenna array. Measured results showed that the fabricated antenna complied with our requirements, with voltage standing wave ratio of less than 1.4, antenna gain of 34.5 dBi (i.e., the aperture efficiency was 69 %) and cross polarization discrimination of 28.7 dB.

Therefore, it is difficult to achieve dual-band reflectarray. To address the issues, we adopt two layer patches for element to increase flexibility of design and optimize the patches configuration using GA. As a result, we achieve novel reflectarray that reflect wave towards the direction of theta equal to 27 deg.","PeriodicalId":335039,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124947220","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}

In the proposed method, the elevation angles are estimated using the SLA and an improved MUSIC method. The azimuth angles are estimated by two stages. Firstly, the rough azimuth estimates are obtained by a cross-correlation matrix (CCM) of the array received data and the elevation estimates. Secondly, the fine azimuth estimates can be achieved using the SULA and the rough azimuth estimates. The proposed method can achieve automatic pairing of the 2-D DOA estimates. Simulation results show that our approach outperforms the existing methods based on L-shaped array.","PeriodicalId":335039,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121022089","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}

Conventional transitions are required through-holes in order to prevent unwanted emission in the substrate. However, the product cost of the transition is increased by making through-holes. In addition, the through-holes will be broken by heat deformation of the dielectric so that the characteristics of the transition may be deteriorated. Therefore, this paper replaces through-holes to quarter-wavelength open stubs in the transition. In this paper, our proposed transition is designed and the characteristics of that are analyzed. Moreover, the characteristics of our proposed transition are compared with the characteristics of the conventional one. The results show that our proposed transition can maintain the same characteristics as the conventional transition, reduce the product cost and increase the reliability of the transition for heat.","PeriodicalId":335039,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP)","volume":"9 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120828353","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}
