研究目的
To propose a dual linearly polarized antenna array with end-fire radiation at the 60-GHz band for future 5G applications, combining two types of magneto-electric dipoles (ME-dipole) operating in vertical and horizontal polarizations respectively.
研究成果
The proposed dual linearly polarized end-fire antenna array achieves high isolation, stable radiation patterns, and good gain performance, making it a promising candidate for future 5G applications. The design demonstrates the feasibility of integrating dual polarization and end-fire radiation in a compact array using cost-effective PCB technology.
研究不足
The design faces challenges in mutual coupling between closely placed elements and requires careful structural modifications to suppress it. The bandwidth and gain variation for V-pol excitation are larger than for H-pol, indicating a trade-off in performance between the two polarizations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The design combines two types of ME-dipoles based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure, placed closely by sharing the same metallic post wall. Mutual coupling between elements is analyzed and suppressed through structural modifications.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 1×8 element array is designed, fabricated, and measured to validate the design.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Commercial electromagnetic simulator HFSS was used for simulation. The prototype was fabricated using PCB technology with Rogers 5880 substrates and bonded using Rogers COOLSPAN TECA films.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The array's performance was evaluated through S-parameters measurement using an Anritsu MS4647B Vector Network Analyzer and radiation patterns measurement via a far-field test system.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance was analyzed based on bandwidth, gain, radiation patterns, and port isolation measurements.
