A Design of Wide Band and Wide Beam Cavity-Backed Slot Antenna Array with Slant Polarization

الملخص EN

Design of antenna array under the limitation of restricted size is a challenging problem.

Cavity-backed slot antenna is widely used because of its advantages of small size, wide band, and wide beam.

In this paper, a design of wide band and wide beam cavity-backed slot antenna array with the slant polarization is proposed.

To obtain wide band and wide beam with limited size, the inverted microstrip-fed cavity-backed slot antenna (IMF-CBSA) is adopted as the element of 1 × 4 antenna array.

The slant polarized antennas and their feeding networks are adopted because of their simple structures.

The performance of the proposed antenna array is verified by the simulations and experiments.

The measured VSWR < 2 bandwidth is 55% at the center frequency 21.8 GHz, and the gain is larger than 12.2 dB.

Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed design achieves wide band and beam with the size of 68 mm × 56 mm × 14.5 mm.
