Abstract
A wide-angle scanning millimeter-wave (mm-wave) phased array with enhanced bandwidth and isolation using novel triple-function electric walls (TEWs) is presented in this work. First, a novel concept for element beamwidth broadening is proposed by using a suspended horizontal magnetic current (SHMC) with a conical pattern. Then, based on this concept, an antenna element is designed using the proposed TEWs. TEWs not only broaden the element beamwidth by forming a suspended horizontal magnetic current(SHMC), but also widen the element bandwidth by introducing a new mode. Meanwhile, the proposed TEWs can be used as a band-stop filter in the array to reduce the mutual coupling. Based on the three beneficial functions of the proposed TEWs, a wide-angle scanning mm wave phased array with enhanced bandwidth and isolation is designed. Measured results show that the phased array achieves an active impedance bandwidth of 19.3% (24.7-30 GHz) and a good isolation of more than 15 dB. Meanwhile, a wide 3 dB scanning angle larger than ±74° is achieved by the proposed array with the maximum scanning angle of ±80° at 27 GHz.
