Problems solved by technology

However, based on this strong mutual coupling idea, there are also some shortcomings in the design of wide-bandwidth angular scanning phased arrays: the strong capacitively coupled dipole phased arrays of Munk et al. need to use more than two layers of microwave dielectric plates, and It is often required that the dielectric plate used as the wide-angle scanning impedance matching layer has a thickness proportional to the operating wavelength, so this implementation is not convenient for the design of conformal broadband phased array antennas on complex platform carriers
However, the microstrip antenna itself has a narrow operating bandwidth, which is difficult to meet the requirements of modern radar systems for wide-band operation, and it is also difficult to achieve wide-angle scanning
The Chinese patent "A 3.1-10.6GHz Vivaldi Ultra-Wideband Antenna" with the application number of 200620166938.1 can solve the requirement of broadband, but its section height is very high, and it is difficult to meet the design of conformal broadband phased array antenna on a complex platform carrier requirements, and its RCS is also high, which is not conducive to stealth design

Abstract

The invention discloses a low RCS wide-bandwidth angle-sweep phased array antenna based on a strong mutual coupling effect. The antenna comprises a radiation unit layer printed on a thin dielectric layer, and capacitive coupling between adjacent units is reinforced via an interdigital at the tail end of a dipole along the direction of a dipole arm in the radiation unit layer; and a multilayer impedance transformation Balun structure is used to feed the dipole. Thus, requirements of ultra wide band, wide-angle wave beam scanning and low RCS for the phased array antenna are all taken into consideration, and the low RCS wide-bandwidth angle-sweep phased array antenna is especially suitable for use in a new generation of hidden carrier platform.
