Radiation Efficiency Improvement Method for Multifeed Circular Polarization Antenna Array with Mutual Coupling Effect

الملخص EN

In the circular polarization antenna array, the input impedance, axial ratio, and radiation pattern of antenna patch will be changed.

Compared with the performances of single antenna, the mutual coupling also led to the low efficiency of all antennas.

A novel radiation efficiency elevation method of multifeed circular polarization (CP) antenna array is demonstrated in this paper, in order to solve the problem.

To prove the concept of novel method, dual-feed antenna with stubs is developed and fabricated.

According to the measured results, each antenna would increase in efficiency by approximate 1dB by applying this novel design method.

Therefore, this paper provides dramatically useful results of lessening the negative effect resulting in mutual coupling.
