Improvement the reflection coefficient of Waveguide-Fed Phased-Array Antenna utilizing Liquid Crystal

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

Digitally Excited Reconfigurable Linear Antenna Array Using Swarm Optimization Algorithms

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

An Ultralow Cross-Polarization Slot Array Antenna in Narrow Wall of Angled Ridge Waveguide

A low cross-polarization slot array antenna in the narrow wall of ridge waveguide is presented. A non-angled slot which is created in the narrow wall of the ridge waveguide is considered to be used as radiating resonant slot. The normalized resistance and normalized reactance curves are presented for design purposes. A six element slot array waveguide antenna with ridges on its narrow wall is t...

Single-layer waveguide slot array antenna with diaphragms

A single-layer waveguide slot array antenna of low cost and high performance for a millimetre-wave wireless communication system at 38 GHz frequency band is presented. The waveguide slots and diaphragms are located together on the cover plate of the antenna, which makes the antenna cost effective and highly efficient. Measurements show a cross-polarisation level below 26 dB and an efficiency le...
