Abstract
Abstract Several novel wideband co-polarized circulator-less monostatic antenna and array designs for co-channel simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) applications are presented. The monostatic STAR apertures are demonstrated first by utilizing multi-arm spiral antennas where a set of arms is used for transmitting (TX) and the other set for receiving (RX). Then, square and hexagonal broadside STAR arrays utilizing closely-spaced spiral antennas are introduced. Finally, (quasi) omnidirectional circular STAR arrays based on phase modes orthogonality principles are realized using four wideband monocone antenna elements. The studied configurations are integrated with the proper beamforming networks to excite the desired modes of TX/RX operations leading to theoretically infinite isolation between TX and RX ports. Practically, the achieved isolation is limited by the electrical asymmetries of the used components. Overall, consistent wideband operation, high isolation, and decent far-field performance are achieved for all proposed STAR approaches.
