This manuscript proposes a dual-band dual-polarized 64-element phased array antenna (PAA) with suppressed higher order modes (HoMs). Each array element is a microstrip patch structure with complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) loading, allowing for simultaneous dual-band and dual-polarization performance at 3.45 GHz and 3.87 GHz. The proposed PAA exhibits impedance matching of dB at 3.45 GHz and 3.87 GHz while limiting the mutual coupling below dB between the adjacent elements at both the operating bands. The proposed design includes a plated through hole placed near the CSRR loading to suppress any higher-order modes (HOMs). Two antenna prototypes, without and with HOMs suppression techniques are fabricated and measured. In addition, we demonstrate the beam steering of the proposed PAA up to using an off-the-shelf 6-bit phase shifter module. The proposed 64 -element array achieves a gain of 23 dBi, and shows a minimal steering loss of dB over the steering angle.
本文提出了一种具有抑制高阶模式(HoM)的双频段双极化64元相控阵天线(PAA)。每个阵列单元是一个加载了互补分裂环谐振器(CSRR)的微带贴片结构,可在3.45 GHz和3.87 GHz实现双频段和双极化性能。所提出的PAA在3.45 GHz和3.87 GHz时呈现出 dB的阻抗匹配,同时在两个工作频段将相邻单元之间的互耦限制在 dB以下。所提出的设计包括在CSRR加载附近放置一个镀通孔,以抑制任何高阶模式(HOM)。制作并测量了两个天线原型,一个没有采用HOM抑制技术,另一个采用了该技术。此外,我们使用现成的6位移相器模块演示了所提出的PAA高达 的波束转向。所提出的64元阵列实现了23 dBi的增益,并且在转向角度范围内显示出最小为 dB的转向损耗。
