Two-Dimensional Scanning Phased Array Based on Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna

preprint2019arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper presents a novel planar phased array that can work in Ka band designed for two-dimensional scanning. A four-modes pattern reconfigurable element based on microstrip Yagi antenna is proposed, and then developed into the 4X4 phased array, in which two feed points are introduced to reduce sidelobe level (SLL). The simulated results show that our proposed phased array is able to cover the scanning range from -60° to +60°in H-plane(yoz-plane) and -47.2°to +47.2°in E-plane(xoz-plane) with the gain reduction less than 3dB, both the SLLs of which are 10dB less than main beam. The two-dimensional scanning phased array based on pattern reconfigurable antenna (PRA) presented here is suitable for the satellite communication.
