A Multibeam Antenna Array Based on Printed Rotman Lens

Design of Rotman Lens Antenna at Ku-Band Based on Substrate Integrated Technology

In this research work, a multibeam antenna which is a combination of a beamformer network (BFN) and a linear array antenna, has been designed. A Rotman lens has been chosen as beamformer network and Vivaldi antennas have been selected for constructing array antenna. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) was used for implementing Rotman lens. After explanation the structure of Substrate integ...

Design and Performance Analysis of Millimetre-Wave Rotman Lens-Based Array Beamforming Networks for Large-Scale Antenna Subsystems

This paper presents the comprehensive analytical design and numerical performance evaluation of novel millimetre-wave (mm-wave) switched-beam networks, based on the Rotman lens (RL) array feeding concept. These passive array devices have been designed for operation in the 28GHz frequency band, covering the whole 18–38 GHz frequency range. The primary objective of the work is to conduct a thorou...

Multibeam Optical Signal Processing Array Antenna Using Optical Waveguide Arrays and Lens

Phased array antennas are expected to be effective for use in advanced wireless communications for mobile radio communication, wireless LAN, and satellite communication [1]. Recently, the application of photonics technology to microwave array antennas has been studied [2-5]. An optically controlled phased array antenna is very well-suited for fiber-optic microwave or millimeter-wave links. Opti...

Rotman Lens-Based Circular Array for Generating Five-mode OAM Radio Beams

Recently, vortex beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) for radio communications has attracted much attention for its potential of transmitting multiple signals simultaneously at the same frequency, which can be used to increase the channel capacity. However, most of the methods for getting multi-mode OAM radio beams remain up to now mainly at simulation level, since their implementations...
