摘要
为 C 波段应用展示了一种低调的宽带圆极化(CP)元面天线。元表面由带有 Z 形槽的 4 × 4 正方形贴片组成。利用特征模态分析研究了元表面的模态行为,并选择了一对退化模态作为工作模态。通过将槽形天线用作具有 90° 相位差的馈电结构来激励元表面的一对退化模式,从而实现了 CP 辐射。通过结合元表面和槽形天线的共振模式,CP 带宽进一步拓宽。测量结果表明,天线的 -10 dB 阻抗带宽为 3.47-4.76 GHz,3 dB 轴比带宽为 3.5-4.9 GHz,峰值增益为 6.9 dBic。此外,该天线具有良好的左旋 CP 辐射性能,外形低矮(0.046λ0)。
A low-profile wideband circularly polarized metasurface antenna based on characteristic mode analysis
A low-profile wideband circularly polarized (CP) metasurface antenna is demonstrated for C-band applications. The metasurface consists of 4 × 4 square patches with Z-shaped slots. Characteristic mode analysis is used to investigate the modal behavior of the metasurface, and a pair of degenerate modes is chosen as the operating modes. The CP radiation is realized by exciting a pair of degenerate modes of the metasurface through a slot antenna, which is used as a feed structure with a 90° phase difference. The CP bandwidth is further widened by combining the resonance modes of the metasurface and slot antenna. The measured results show that the −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the antenna is 3.47–4.76 GHz, and the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth is 3.5–4.9 GHz with a peak gain of 6.9 dBic. Moreover, the antenna exhibits well left-hand CP radiation performances with a low profile of 0.046λ0.
