Abstract
This article presents a comparative analysis for the performance of single, 2 × 2, and 4 × 4 dielectric resonator (DR) and patch circularly polarized (CP) antenna subarrays at 30 GHz. In order to enhance the CP bandwidth, the subarray elements are fed by two kinds of sequential feeding techniques using parallel and hybrid ring feeds. The 4 × 4 patch antenna subarrays fed by parallel and hybrid ring feeding networks are fabricated and tested. Measurements show acceptable agreement with simulation results. The experimental results show a bandwidth of 36.9% for both (−10 dB) impedance matching and (3 dB) axial ratio CP patterns for the patch subarray antenna with hybrid ring feeding. For the parallel feeding, the corresponding bandwidth is 28.81%. The proposed antennas combine desirable features such as wide impedance and AR bandwidths, low profile, and easiness of fabrication and therefore is a good candidate for millimeter wave systems around 30 GHz.
