“…16 TR modules are mounted on the 30 cm × 30 cm aluminum plate of the CPAD structure to construct a 4 × 4 polarimetric antenna array. In this demonstration, the radiation elements can be either arranged normally (all in the same orientation) or in a mirror configuration [6] (the orientation in Figure 12) if cross-polarization levels need to be suppressed at broadside. The array manifold in Figure 5(a) also shows three layers of electronics: (1) the power divider, combiner, and cabling, (2) the TR module and antennas, and (3) the master MCU for the subarray and power suppliers (110 V AC to 28 V DC converters) which are mounted on the third plate.…”

The configurable phased array demonstrator (CPAD) is a low-cost, reconfigurable, small-scale testbed for the dual-polarized array antenna and radar prototype. It is based on the concept that individual transmit and receive (TR) modules and radiating elements can be configured in different ways to study the impact of various array manifolds on radiation pattern performance. For example, CPAD is configured as (a) a 4 × 4 planar array, (b) a planar array with mirror configuration, and (c) a circular array to support the multifunctional phased array radar (MPAR) system risk reduction studies. System descriptions are given in detail, and measurements are made and results are analyzed.

“…In order to suppress the level of cross‐polarization, the mirrored feed arrangement is considered [ Woelders and Granholm , 1997; Granholm and Woelders , 2001; Rahmat‐Samii et al , 2006]. For the sake of illustration, an array consisting of identical 2 × 2 subarrays is considered.…”

[1] An optimal design of a cylindrical polarimetric phased array radar (CPPAR) for weather sensing is presented. A recently introduced invasive weed optimization (IWO) technique is employed to obtain the desired radiation pattern of the CPPAR. Instead of optimizing each element excitation in a large array (with expensive calculation costs), the modified Bernstein polynomial distribution, defined by seven parameters, is used to optimize the current distribution for the CPPAR. The simulation results show that the desired sidelobe levels (SLLs) and beam width are achieved in a computationally effective manner. Furthermore, the imaged feed arrangement is used to suppress the crosspolarization level. Both co-polar and cross-polar radiation patterns for broadside and off-broadside directions are presented to show the performance of the optimized CPPAR.

“…이는 두 대역이 인접한 경우에 는 급전 회로를 비교적 간단히 설계할 수 있으나, 두 대역 간의 주파수 비율이 높은 경우 급전 회로의 구 성이 매우 어렵기 때문이다. 현재까지 발표된 이중 대역 배열 안테나는 서로 다른 대역에서 동작하는 마이크로스트립 안테나를 배열하여 두 대역을 수용 하는 단일 급전 회로를 적용한 방법 [4] , 서로 다른 대 역에서 동작하는 마이크로스트립 안테나들을 교차 편파를 이용하여 수직으로 배치한 방법 [5] , 이중 대역 단일 안테나를 배열하는 방법 [6], [7], [9] 이 있다. 하지만, 이러한 이중 대역 배열 안테나들은 급전 회로가 매 우 복잡하고 전체 배열 안테나 면적이 커진다는 단 점이 있다.…”

다. AbstractThis paper presents a dual-band array antenna based on a modified Sierpinski fractal structure. Array structure is mirror symmetric, and forms broadside radiation pattern for dual frequency band if the ports are fed with 180° phase difference between upper and lower 2×1 array. To use in-phase corporate feeding circuit, the phase inversion structure is designed by changing the position of patch and ground for upper and lower array. The dimensions of the array antenna is 28×30×5 cm 3 and the bandwidth of 855～1,380 MHz(47 %), 1,770～2,330 MHz(27 %) were achieved for -10 dB return loss. The measured gain is 9.06～12.44 dBi for the first band and 11.76～14.84 dBi for the second band. The half power beam width is 57° for x-z plane and 46° for y-z plane at 1,100 MHz and 43° and 28° at 2,050 MHz, respectively.
