Abstract

The design of a novel planar wideband phased antenna array operating over 7.5-19.5 GHz has been presented. The array radiator consists of a feeding patch and a couple of shorting patches which are connected to the ground plane with shorting vias and isolating vias. Good impedance matching can be obtained due to the shorting vias while the common-mode resonance is eliminated by the isolating vias. Both the infinite unit-cell model and the finite simulation model have been implemented to investigate the performance of the proposed antenna array. The obtained results have shown that the active VSWR is less than 2 for wide scan in the E-plane while the active VSWR is less than 3 for 45° scan in the H-plane. The whole thickness of the radiator is 3.4mm, indicating the possibility for low-profile applications.
