Investigation of a Modular Antenna Array Configuration and a Feeding Techniquefor Brick Architecture

摘要

Several antenna technologies and architectures have been studied for a fixed-beamportable communications terminal operating at high frequencies, e.g. 20GHz (receive) and 30GHz (transmit), and capable of providing multiple data links (data, voice, video). This report investigates two aspects of the problem: a modular antenna array configuration, and a suitable feeding scheme involving perpendicular interconnection that is essential to the design of the brick architecture. An antenna array patterns program was developed within the Matlab environment. This versatile tool can be used to predict planar array radiation patterns for design and general illustration purposes. The program can evaluate,
