A cylindrical tightly coupled dipole array (TCDA) with circular polarization
Different from the regular TCDA, which maintains the characteristics of TCDA without bending the element, this paper first presents a novel cylindrical TCDA, of which the elements are connected by joinable design along the circumferential direction. By utilizing the cylindrical design and sequentially rotated feed technique, the axial ratio (AR) of the proposed TCDA over the whole band is less than 3 dB, showing a great circular polarization (CP) characteristic. Meanwhile, the proposed TCDA remains an ultrawideband property with 10.3:1 bandwidth (2.6–26.7 GHz) and an active VSWR < 3, within a wide-scanning range of ± 70°. Moreover, an 18-element cylindrical TCDA prototype is fabricated and measured, validating our design. Good agreement is obtained between the measured and simulated radiation patterns. Due to the distinctive features of cylindrical design, CP, ultra-wide bandwidth, and wide-angle scanning, the proposed TCDA expands the application fields operated in microwave to millimeter-wave.
