77GHz MILLIMETER WAVE ANTENNA ARRAY WITH WILKINSON DIVIDER FEEDING NETWORK
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 77 GHz microstrip antenna array with a small surface providing high side and grating lobe suppression is presented. This may serve as a starting point for 77 GHz automotive radar applications. Multiple Wilkinson dividers guarantee both impedance matching at the input port (TX) as well as low return loss for the incoming (RX) signal. Phase shifting is done by adjusting the level of the Wilkinson dividers or by meandered sections of transmission line. The influence of the radiation caused by the feeding network is analyzed and the absolute degradation in side lobe suppression is derived in this paper.
