Two-Dimensional Periodic Dual-Polarized Over Wave Region Antenna Array

Resumo

The two-dimensional periodic dual-polarized antenna array in the form of a nonuniform multiconductor line of square cross-section conductors is proposed and studied. Using the approximate theory, matching characteristics of the two-conductor line with three different laws of impedance variation are studied and the optimum law is found. Electrodynamic modeling of an infinite two-dimensional periodic array of these elements is carried out using the finite element method at different scanning modes. Using a numerical experiment, the possibility of implementing the over wave region matching mode is demonstrated for arrays of 144 (12 × 12) and 576 (24 × 24) elements: for the array of 576 elements, the working bandwidth in the cophased mode was 1 : 34; when scanning in the sector of 90°, more than 1 : 15.
