Abstract
著者らは利得の広帯域化のため,並列給電回路を下層に配置した二層構造中空導波管スロットアレーを提案している.本アンテナは積層金属薄板の拡散接合技術により優れた量産性が期待できる.本稿ではアンテナ全体の反射特性を広帯域化するため,はじめに外部空間における素子間相互結合の強さと反射特性の帯域の関係を明らかにした.次に並列給電導波管回路を3つの回路に分割し,それぞれの広帯域化設計について示した.最後に60GHz帯で16×16素子アレーの全構造を解析し,VSWR1.5以下の帯域8.3%,利得1dB帯域約20%,設計周波数での開口効率91%の広帯域,高効率特性を得た.
We propose the double-layer hollow-waveguide slot array where a corporate-feed circuit is arranged on the lower layer to achieve a wide bandwidth in gain. It can be fabricated at low cost by diffusion bonding of laminated thin metal plates. This paper presents the design of the wideband antenna in reflection. At first, the relation between mutual coupling in the external region and reflection is shown. Next, the corporate-feed waveguide circuit is divided into three parts, each of which is designed for a wide band, respectively. Finally, full structure of 256-elements is analyzed in 60GHz band by HFSS. 8.3% bandwidth of VSWR less than 1.5, 20% 1dB-down bandwidth of gain, and 91% aperture efficiency at the design frequency are achieved.
