Wideband Circularly Polarized Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna Array with Metallic Walls for Millimeter-Wave Applications
This work proposes a new circularly polarized (CP) 4 × 4 magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna array using metallic walls for 28 GHz band applications. The ME dipole element is surrounded by eight metallic walls and is excited fed by microstrip line. By introducing metallic walls, the 3-dB axial rati...

| description | This work proposes a new circularly polarized (CP) 4 × 4 magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna array using metallic walls for 28 GHz band applications. The ME dipole element is surrounded by eight metallic walls and is excited fed by microstrip line. By introducing metallic walls, the 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of the element is increased from 23% to 36.5%. The 4 × 4 array is fed by a simple 1-to-16 microstrip power divider. In contrast to the conventional substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) power divider using two layers, the proposed microstrip divider only needs one substrate layer. The experimental 3-dB AR bandwidth of the array achieves 30.1%, ranging from 22.5 to 30.5 GHz, which falls inside the −10 dB impendence bandwidth. The measured maximum gain is 19.2 dBic. |
