This paper presents the design of a low profile wideband multibeam integrated dual polarization antenna array for C-band applications. Two three beam Butler beam-forming network (BFN) are implemented in a single layer and integrated with wideband aperture-coupled staked patch elements. By utilizing certain mutual coupling compensation techniques, the array performances, especially the return loss, have been improved. Finally some experiment results are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
