Planar radiating oscillator using butterfly-shaped patch element and spatial power-combining array

摘要

A planar radiating oscillator using a butterfly-shaped patch element is described. To obtain an injection-locking range that can be changed and low cross-polarization, we used a butterfly-shaped patch. The patch element was able to change the injection-locking range while maintaining low cross-polarization, and two types of patch were compared. As one application, we designed and fabricated 1 * 2, 2 * 1 and 2 * 2 spatial power-combining arrays by using radiative mutual coupling. The 2 * 2 array was successfully operated with a single-bias supply without using a 3-D (three-dimensional) Fabry-Perot cavity. An equivalent isotropic radiated power of 2.5 W was measured at X-band.
