Abstract
A linearly polarized patch array with direct probe feed over substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) network (LP-PASIW) for Ku-band is presented. A double-stacked microstrip patch structure has been used as radiating elements. Internal SIW coupling patches are placed inside the SIW to obtain the desired radiation pattern. The internal coupling and external radiating patches are connected by means of copper vias. A mutual coupling model is also proposed to adjust the radiation and reflection properties of the array. An antenna prototype has been manufactured and measured. At 17.7 GHz, 16 dBi and 80% peak gain and efficiency values are obtained. Although a 10% reflection bandwidth (17-18.6 GHz) is achieved, the usable bandwidth is reduced to 3% due to array beam tilt dispersion.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
