Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents a novel millimetre‐wave (mmWave) 2D wide‐angle scanning (WAS) phased array antenna (PAA) based on decoupling surface (DS). The proposed element is a coaxial feeding stacked patch antenna structure that consists of an L‐shape coaxial probe, substrate integrated waveguide cavity, slot layer, radiating patch, DS and defective ground structure. The simulated impedance bandwidth for the element is 14.85% (26.18–30.34 GHz). The simulated result of the 2 × 2 array shows that the designed antenna based on DS achieves an isolation of ≥19 dB within the bandwidth. To validate the scanning capabilities of the proposed antenna, an 8 × 8 PAA prototype is fabricated and measured. The measured scanning range of the prototype achieves a 2D WAS range of ±56° at 27 GHz. The proposed antenna shows great potential in application scenarios, such as automotive radar and satellite communication due to its compact design and ability to achieve WAS in two dimensions.
