Planar dual-band wide-scan phased array in X-band

The design of a planar dual-band wide-scan phased array is presented. The array uses novel dual-band comb-slot-loaded patch elements supporting two separate bands with a frequency ratio of 1.4:1. The antenna maintains consistent radiation patterns and incorporates a feeding configuration providing good bandwidths in both bands. The design has...

Performance study of cavity-backed dual-band radiators

The effectiveness of a cavity for dual-band patch radiator with a frequency ratio of 1.65:1 is analysed. The use of cavities can help in maintaining impedance matching, reducing the levels of mutual coupling between the elements as well as in containing the surface waves, aspects vital to array performance. Results demonstrate that with the use...
