“…In general, there are two types of feeding structure: parallel-fed type [2][3][4][5] and series-fed type [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. For the parallel-fed arrays (PFAs), if the number of antenna elements is N , and the phase difference between antenna elements is φ, the required maximum phase shift is (N − −1) × φ.…”

“…For dual-band application, SFAs can be constructed by two series-fed networks (SFNs) with two input ports [6], two SFNs with one input port [7,8], or single SFN [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In [6], by etching longitudinal slots on two different layers of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), a dual-band SFA is devised.…”

“…As another option, the standing-wave dual-band SFAs with single SFN are getting more and more research attentions [14][15][16]. In [14], a dual-frequency series-fed patch antenna array based on a periodic structure is proposed. However, this type can only achieve very close frequencies.…”

In this paper, a novel dual-band series-fed array (SFA) has been proposed. By introducing a new dual-band series-fed network (SFN) consisting of uniform transmission lines (TLs) and C-sections, independent beam direction can be realized. The design procedure for the proposed dual-band SFA has also been presented in this paper. To validate the design method, a prototype antenna has been fabricated and measured. The experimental results verify the performance of the proposed dual-band SFA.

“…In [9] a circuit representation of the patches based on a transmission line model was proposed, with the parameters for the array determined empirically. In [10] a design technique was used that models the patch and the line feeding it as low impedance and high impedance transmission lines respectively, which together form a unit cell. This unit cell was analyzed using a periodic (Bloch-Floquet) technique.…”

A novel method of analysis for a linear series-fed microstrip antenna array is developed, which is based on a set of canonical coefficients defined for the elements of the array. This method accounts for the mutual coupling between the elements, and allows for a design that has an arbitrary amplitude and phase of the radiating patch currents. This method has the simplicity of a CAD approach while maintaining an accuracy close to that of a full-wave method. The coefficients involved in the formulation are determined by full-wave simulation on either a single patch element or on two patch elements (for mutual coupling calculations).Index Terms-series-fed array, microstrip array, linear array, microstrip antenna, patch antenna, mutual coupling.

“…However, there are considerations to be taken into account to achieve low sidelobe level (SLL) performance, such as amplitude and phase accuracies, radiation from feed networks, and fabrication tolerances [1]. Many studies have been devoted to lower the SLL of series-fed array antennas, such as by controlling the width of patches to shape the aperture distribution, by using a coupled feed line for a microstrip line feed, and by displacing slots axially for a slot array antenna [2][3][4].…”

An aperture-coupled patch array antenna with a reduced sidelobe level (SLL) at the 28 GHz frequency band is presented. The feeding line consists of an asymmetric stripline with a stripline-to-waveguide transition. The array antenna is serially fed in the E-plane, the excitation of which is tapered by controlling the aperture sizes, and is fed through a power divider in the H-plane. The experimental results show a SLL of <−20 dB and a gain of ∼20 dBi for a frequency band in the range of 27.5-28.5 GHz.
