In this paper, a new approach for the radar cross section (RCS) reduction of patch array antenna is proposed. Complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) are etched on the ground of the proposed patch antenna array. A conventional 1 × 4 patch antenna array is designed with the central frequency of 5.0 GHz. The monostatic RCS of the patch antenna array with CSRRs can be reduced as much as 14 dB ...

This paper reviews not only the characteristic of the linearly-polarized plate-laminated waveguide slot array antenna in the 60GHz band but also conversion to circular or tilted linear polarization by adding a layer of apertures over the antenna. The linearly-polarized antenna achieves about 80% antenna efficiency and more than 32 dBi of gain is achieved over 4.8GHz bandwidth. The measured cros...

Electronic beam steering capability of phased array antenna systems offer significant advantages when used in real aperture imaging radiometers. The sensitivity of such systems is limited by the ability to accurately calibrate variations in the antenna circuit characteristics. Passive antenna systems, which require mechanical rotation to scan the beam, have stable characteristics and the noise ...

This article describes the design of single microstrip rectangular patch antenna and 1x1 microstrip rectangular patch antenna arrays operating at 2.4 GHz. Simulation result shows that 5.199 dB and 7.84 dB gain can achieved at frequency 2.4 GHz. Also simulation result show that the return loss is 18.809 at 2.360 GHz in 1x1 microstrip antenna array and current distribution and 3D radiation patter...

The aim of antenna array synthesis is to achieve a desired radiation pattern with the minimum number of antenna elements. In this paper the antenna synthesis problem is studied from a totally new perspective. One of the key principles of compressive sensing is that the signal to be sensed should be sparse or compressible. This coincides with the requirement of minimum number of element in the a...

The design of Tri-Band, 1X8 Linear Antenna Array that operates in three bands 5.4GHz, 6.2GHz, 9.2GHz with the perspective that the antenna array has multiple resonating frequencies and is able to modify its radiation pattern as well, using Micro-strip Patch Antenna elements in combination with PIN Diodes and beam can be steered in each iteration by controlling the supply of PIN Diodes.

This paper, specifically written for GradCon ’99, presents an overview of the field of adaptive arrayprocessing. Beginning with a brief review of array synthesis theory, the concept of an adaptive array is introducedand defined. The broad field of adaptive array applications can be divided into two categories: adaptive signalprocessing for multiple access communication systems, and ...

The main feature of the phased array antenna is its ability to control the amplitude and phase excitation of each radiating source in order to form and scan the main beam by electronic control without any mechanical contributions. The phased array is composed of a group of element sources which are distributed and oriented in a linear, two or three dimensional configurations. A comprehensive co...

This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...

The synthesis of steerable reflect-array antennas, as a synthesis of any antenna, should be realized by solving two problems: external antenna problem and internal antenna problem. The first one includes the investigation of the antenna radiation pattern. The second one concerns a design of the structure providing the required amplitude-and-phase distribution along the antenna aperture. The fir...
