A Wideband Dual-polarized Slot Antenna

admin

A new wideband dual-polarized (DP) quasi-omnidirectional antenna is proposed. The DP antenna consists of a vertical slot for horizontal polarization (HP) and a folded horizontal slot for vertical polarization (VP). A tapered strip is employed to coupling feed the vertical slot while a straight strip is used to excite the horizontal slot. Due to the coupling feed and the orthogonality between.

A Wideband Dual-polarized Slot Antenna

Abstract: A compact wideband dual-polarized slot-coupled stacked patch antenna is presented in this communication. Two orthogonal U-shaped feed lines are used to excite a cross-slot to obtain dual-polarization. The cross-slot consists of two orthogonal slots whose long sides vary as exponential curves. In this letter, a wideband dual-polarized slot antenna is presented. The proposed antenna is designed in a systematic way using the theory of characteristic modes for slot apertures. An H-shaped slot in an infinite ground plane is used as the initial structure for further optimization design. Magnetic characteristic currents for the first four modes of the slot are investigated. Abstract:In this letter, we have proposed a dual-polarized planar circular slot antenna for wideband application. Two orthogonal polarizations were achieved by adopting different feeding mechanisms with high ports isolation.

A Wideband Dual-polarized Slot Antenna Receiver

Abstract

A new technique for designing wideband dual-polarized cavity-backed slot antennas is presented. The structure is in the form of a double-resonant, dual-polarized slot antenna backed by a shallow substrate integrated cavity with a depth of approximately one tenth the free space wavelength. The presence of the cavity behind the slot enhances the antenna's directivity and reduces the possibility of surface wave propagation in the antenna substrate when the element is used in an array environment. Moreover, the dual-polarized nature of this radiating element may be exploited to synthesize any desired polarization (vertical, horizontal, RHCP, or LHCP). The double-resonant behavior observed in this substrate-integrated cavity-backed slot antenna (SICBSA) is utilized to enhance its bandwidth compared to a typical cavity-backed slot antenna. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. Measurement results indicate that a bandwidth of 19%, an average gain of 5.3 dB, and a wideband differential isolation of 30 dB can be achieved using this technique. The principles of operation along with the measurement results of the fabricated prototype are presented and discussed in this dissertation. The SICBSA is investigated as a candidate for use as an array element. A uniform two element phased array is demonstrated to locate the main beam from boresight to thirty degrees. The potential effects of mutual coupling and surface wave propagation are considered and analyzed.
