研究目的
To propose a wide-beam circular polarization antenna and a wide-angle scanning phased array based on polarization rotation technology for improved communication efficiency in applications like satellite communication.
研究成果
The proposed CP wide-beam antenna based on PRRS achieves wide beamwidths (3-dB >136°, AR >132°) and enables a phased array to scan from -65° to 65° with gain fluctuation <3 dB and AR <3 dB, demonstrating excellent performance for satellite communication applications.
研究不足
The scanning performance deteriorates rapidly when the scanning angle exceeds ±65° due to limited beamwidth of array elements and strong coupling effects. Efficiency decreases at larger scanning angles, and manufacturing inaccuracies affect measured results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves designing a polarization rotation reflective surface (PRRS) to achieve circular polarization with wide beamwidth. A narrow rectangular patch antenna is used as a dipole source on the PRRS. An eight-element linear phased array is constructed using this antenna element for wide-angle scanning. Simulations are performed using HFSS software under Floquet boundary conditions, and measurements are conducted in an anechoic chamber.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The PRRS cell is designed with specific dimensions (e.g., l = 4.4 mm, h = 1.5 mm). The antenna and array are fabricated and measured, with data collected on return loss, radiation patterns, axial ratio, gain, and efficiency.
