With the development of offset reflector antennas with high performance, the growing demands for high frequency, low sidelobe level and reduced mass have brought structural design and manufacturing process stringent requirements. The coupled structural-electromagnetic problem of offset reflector antennas is studied to find out the prime structural factors which have a great effect on electromagnetic...
A new type of dual-band ESPAR (Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) array antenna is presented. The antenna consists of one feeding radiating element and two-layer parasitic radiating elements. The parasitic radiating element of each layer is composed of 6 parasitic monopoles and placed in the near field of the active radiator. Replacing the reactance-load, the on/off controlling is...
As penetration depth through vegetation and ground becomes more important in active remote sensing applications, there is a shift toward using lower frequencies. To facilitate imaging of ground water, soil moisture and composition, and penetrating through forest canopies, a dual-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been proposed to operate at VHF and UHF frequencies. To accommodate weekly repeat...
Reflectarrays combines key features of large reflectors and phased array elements to generate a collimated beam as required in high gain antennas. In reflectarrays, a large flat reflecting surface with many resonant patch elements is illuminated by a feed (or by a feed/subreflector in dual reflector configuration). In many space applications, reflectarrays applications can be advantageous because...
The gain of circularly polarised (CP) array antennas realised by proper phasing of sequentially rotated linearly polarised (LP) elements is compared to that of arrays using CP elements and demonstrated by calculations for microstrip patch elements. When element spacing is large and array size is small, the advantages of LP elements are offset by the significant reduction in gain due to high cross...
