摘要:
This letter presents an 8 x 8 dual-band shared-aperture array antenna operating in K-(19.5-21.5 GHz) and Ka-band (29-31 GHz) using gap waveguide technology. Radiating elements consist of circular apertures located on the top plate of the antenna and excited by two stacked cavities with different diameters for dual-frequency operation. A waffle grid is used on top to increase the effective area of apertures and reduce grating lobes. Each stacked cavity is fed by its appropriate corporate-feeding net-work: The upper feeding layer operates at 20 GHz band, and the lower one at 30 GHz band. As a result, the antenna presents two ports, one for each band, which radiate a directive far-field pattern with linear polarization, orthogonal to each other. Experimental results show impedance and radiation pattern bandwidths larger than 1.5 GHz in both bands.
