미엔더 라인을 이용한 사다리꼴 다이폴 구조의 VHF 대역능동 위상 배열안테나 복사소자 연구

초록

In this paper, the method to miniaturize the radiating element of a VHF-band active electronically scanned array is proposed. The length of the proposed dipole having trapezoidal shape structure is miniaturized using meander line while the performance degradation is minimized. The grid reflector is used to improve the antenna directivity and insensitivity due to the outer environment. In addition, the antenna is designed to take into account for array application. The fabricated antenna has a 9.1 % fractional bandwidth for the voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) 2:1 and the maximum gain of 4.24 dBi. The front-to-back ratio(FBR) is larger than 15 dB.
