The invention discloses a
microstrip patch phased-array antenna, and relates to the technical field of phased-array antennas, and the
microstrip patch phased-array antenna comprises a plurality of
microstrip patch antenna units which are arranged in a grid at equal intervals and a plurality of rectangular
coupling branches. For a single
microstrip patch antenna unit, the square
radiation patch is located in the center of the upper surface of the first
dielectric substrate, the
coupling feed structure is located between the second
dielectric substrate and the first
dielectric substrate, and the two ends of the
coupling feed structure are connected with the
metal ground through the
metal short circuit column and the
metal feed column respectively for coupling feed. A rectangular coupling
branch knot is arranged between every two antenna units, the distance between the
branch knot and the two units is consistent, the
branch knot and the square
radiation patch are coplanar, and the long side of the branch knot is parallel to a connecting line of projection centers of the unit metal
short circuit column and the feed column. According to the scheme, transverse coupling between antenna units can be enhanced, a multi-
resonance mode can be excited, the problems that a microstrip patch
phased array is narrow in bandwidth, unit mutual coupling is high during wide-angle scanning, impedance mismatching is serious, scanning blind areas are prone to occurring, and
gain is reduced are effectively solved, and the antenna is suitable for scenes such as
broadband radars.
