As an important part of phased array system, the research on phased array antenna is very necessary. The phased array antenna achieves the scanning beam adaptively by regulating the phase difference between each array element. In this paper, a dual K-band circularly polarized antenna with high broadband, broadband beam, wide axial ratio bandwidth and high radiation efficiency is designed. We combine with the advantages of slot antenna and aperture antenna, use multimode waveguide cavity structure to design an aperture antenna, which is fed to waveguide circular polarizer by slot coupling in order to realize circular polarization radiation. Meanwhile, it has the characteristics of broadband, broadband beam, wide axial ratio bandwidth and high radiation efficiency. A slit antenna is designed by using a multimode waveguide cavity structure and a slit coupling feed to a waveguide circular polarizer is used to achieve circularly polarized radiation. The designed antenna consists of two K-band circularly polarized antenna units, and the spacing between the two units is 9.5 mm, which is fed by a K-band T/R module (Transmitter/Receiver module). In order to study the performance of the pattern in the case of the research group, the 2-unit structure is established. The simulation results of frequency-axial ratio bandwidth are given, and the simulation result of the antenna array is shown. The practical results of antenna design and test are also given.
In this paper, we have proposed a novel structure of Ka-band based phased array antenna with calibration function. In the design of Kaband antenna, the active phased array system is adopted and the antenna would work in the dual polarization separation mode. We have given out the schematic diagram for the proposed Ka-band antenna, where the Kaband antenna is in the form of waveguide slot array antenna, with 96 units in azimuth and 1 unit in distance. Each group of units is driven by a singlechannel Transmitter/Receiver (T/R) component, and the whole array contains 192 T/R components in total. The size of the T/R component is 55 mm (length) × 50 mm (width) × 5.8 mm (height), 3 Sub-micro Sub-Miniature Push-on (SSMP) blind sockets and a 21-core low-frequency socket are designed on the two sides of the T/R component. In order to meet the technical specifications of phased array antenna, the Ka-band transceiver component is designed based on Low Temperatrue Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology to achieve miniaturization and lightweight. In our approach, the feed network includes two parts: transceiver network and calibration network. The transceiver network consists of 24 1:8 time-delay power dividers, 12 two-way power dividers and 2 six-way time-delay power dividers. The power supply required by the Kaband antenna unit is provided to each active component by the power module after Ka band wavelet control distribution. Simulation and measurement results are given in the form of standing wave and scanning capability.
