Folded aperture coupled patch antenna fabricated on FPC with vertically polarised end-fire radiation for fifth-generation millimetre-wave massive MIMO systems
摘要： The authors proposed a folded aperture-coupled patch antenna (ACPA) on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) with vertically polarised end-fire radiation, suitable for fifth-generation millimetre-wave massive multi-input–multi-output (MIMO) systems. For low-cost implementation, antenna elements were fabricated on a single polyimide substrate. The fabricated FPC was first folded to implement a three-layer ACPA, and then the feed line was bent 90° to achieve end-fire radiation. Measurement of five antenna samples demonstrates that the resonance frequency lies between 27.7 and 28.3?GHz. Each antenna sample has the bandwidth (|S11|?<??10?dB) >1.2?GHz. The measured antenna gain is 2.74?dBi at 28.1?GHz, and the difference between co- and cross-polarised radiation intensities is >15?dB in all directions of interest. To improve the impedance bandwidth and the gain further, they increased the distance between the patch and the aperture of the proposed antenna by folding the fabricated FPC multiple times without an additional layer. Experimental results confirm the bandwidth of 2.64?GHz (26.27–28.91?GHz) and the gain of 3.80?dBi at 28?GHz. Additionally, the 1?×?8-folded APCA array is simulated to verify the feasibility for a practical application of multi-beam massive MIMO technology.

摘要： This paper presents low cost, low complexity, dual-circularly polarized patch antenna designs. The aperture coupled antennas employ simple square slotline loop elements to provide surface current cancellation in the critical regions of the antenna structure. High isolation (below 50 dB) is then obtained between the two antenna inputs, one for each polarization state. Circular polarization (CP) is produced thanks to the use of a planar hybrid coupler, feeding the antenna with two quadrature signals. Reciprocity of these components allows for the use of one port as the input (Tx) and the other one as an output (Rx), making the antenna work in full duplex mode. Also, both right-hand and left-hand circular polarizations are possible by interchanging the Tx and Rx ports, bringing a valuable degree of versatility. The proposed antenna design is also grouped in a 2x2 array for operation at C band (2.45 GHz), and its corresponding results are reported. Possible applications for the single-element and the low profile array include modern short range wireless communications, polarization diversity, direction finding, radar, and other beam steering array applications.

摘要： In this communication, a recon?gurable feeding network is proposed for the design of a quad-polarization-agile antenna. By switching the PIN diodes, the four transmission modes with selected phase differences can be electrically tuned at two output ports. For each mode, the measured insertion loss of the feeding network is less than 0.8 dB at the operating frequency. Because of its compact size, the proposed feeding network can be further integrated with a dual-polarized aperture-coupled antenna, which can exhibit two orthogonal linear polarizations and two orthogonal circular polarizations. Measured results of the polarization-agile antenna are shown in detail, which verify its performance.
