Phase Sweep Slot Array Based on Adjustable Reflection Phase Shifter
A one dimensional phase sweep slot array based on an adjustable reflection phase shifter is designed in this paper.The antenna element adopts the slit structure of single ridged waveguide.The use of ridge waveguides greatly reduces the width of antenna elements,so the spacing of antenna elements is reduced and the scanning angle is increased.The sidelobe of the antenna in the horizon-tal direction is reduced by adjusting the distance of the offset center of each slit.The feed part of the antenna consists of an adjustable reflection phase shifter and a coaxial power division network.The coaxial power division network combines the antenna elements into an array to improve the gain.The port phase difference between the antenna elements is controlled by an adjustable reflection phase shifter to realize beam scanning of the antenna array on the E plane.The simulation results show that the one-dimensional phase-sweep slot array has a return loss better than-15 dB,gain greater than 26.6 dBi,H-plane sidelobe level better than-20 dB,E-plane beam scanning can reach±45°,and the direction pattern is stable in 26.8 GHz-27.2 GHz band.
