Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for improving the side lobe characteristics of an array antenna. Background technique
[0002] In wireless systems such as point-to-point systems, for example parabolic antennas or array antennas are used.
[0003] Such as figure 1 As shown, a general array antenna is composed of a plurality of antenna elements provided on a printed circuit board, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to the antenna elements. The circles in this figure are antenna elements, and the solid lines connecting the antenna elements are lines (microstrip lines) constituting a power supply circuit. As shown in the figure, the antenna elements are arranged in a dot matrix on the printed circuit board.
[0004] In the array antenna having the above configuration, useless radiation (grating lobes) is generated on the printed circuit board in a direction different from the maximum radiation direction (main lobe direction). I...
