Millimeter-wave sensor applications require antennas which can be easily designed for beams with various shapes. Microstrip comb-line antenna is one of the attractive candidates since feeding loss is relatively low rather than a parallel feeding. In the design for required radiation pattern in the plane perpendicular to the feeding line, the design flexibility is low when the number of the feeding line is small. We propose a design technique to extend a design flexibility of radiation pattern in the plane perpendicular to the feeding line. Designs for beamtilting of several angles are implemented and feasibility of the proposed design is confirmed by experiments in this paper.
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.
