摘要
A device is presented for improving radio frequency (RF) and microwave array antenna performance. The device sits in the near field, the reactive region, of the antenna array with a pattern of electrically isolated rectangular, cross-shaped, ell, and/or similarly-shaped patches of flat metal or other conductor in a flat plane. The patches are segmented into smaller shapes no greater than 0.3 of a shortest wavelength of the nominal operating range of the antenna and/or the height of the plane is greater than 0.25 and/or less than 0.4 of the center frequency's wavelength. Mutual coupling S-parameters between neighboring elements are either simulated or measured, and the patch sizes or height are designed such that |S21Refl| is in a range of |S21Array|±20% of |S21Array|; and Phase(S21Refl) is in a range of Phase(S21Array)+180±30 degrees, where S21Array is an S-parameter between antenna two neighboring antenna elements measured or simulated without the device, where S21ADS is the same with the device, and S21Refl=S21ADS−S21Array.
