Radiation from a Millimeter-Wave Rectangular Waveguide Slot Array Antenna Enclosed by a Von Karman Radome

Abstract

In this paper, electromagnetic radiation from a slot array antenna enclosed by a Von Karman radome is analyzed by using the ray tracing method and Huygens's principle. We consider the rectangular slot array antenna and the Von Karman radome. The radiation patterns are calculated by using the surface currents of the radome to illustrate the electromagnetic behaviors of the radome-enclosed waveguide slot array antenna.

Metasurface-Based Single-Layer Wideband Circularly Polarized MIMO Antenna for 5G Millimeter-Wave Systems

“…The envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) shows how much MIMO antennas are independent in their individual performance, for instance, radiation patterns and polarization. The ECC (ρeij) for the MIMO antenna system can be computed using both the S-parameters and far-field radiation patterns using (7) and (8), respectively [47]. Where Sii is the reflection coefficient and Sij is the transmission coefficient.…”

“…Ω is the solid angle and ⃗⃗⃗⃗ ( , ) and ⃗⃗⃗⃗ ( , ) are the three-dimensional radiation patterns of i th and j th antenna, respectively. The ECC values obtained from (7) and (8) for the proposed CP MIMO antenna are very low (0.015) within the operating frequency, showing the excellent diversity performance and uncorrelated far-field patterns of the MIMO antennas ( Figure 17). The simulated 3D radiation patterns of the MIMO antennas is also suggesting that the antennas are independent in their individual performance as the radiation patterns do not deteriorate in MIMO configuration (Figure 18).…”

“…By placing a superstrate above a patch with a separation of half-wavelength or quarter-wavelength, the gain of the antenna can be significantly increased. However, these designs have highprofiles and poor mechanical properties due to the presence of the air gap [6][7][8].…”

Analysis of Transmission Loss and Boresight Error of a Curved FSS Radome-Enclosed Antenna

“…There have been various numerical or experimental works to study the EM properties of radome-enclosed antenna systems. For example, homogenous [3] and inhomogeneous [4] planar and tangent-ogive [5][6][7][8] and Von Karman [9][10][11] dielectric radomes were investigated. Optimization methods were utilized for enhanced dielectric radomes [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”
