Fully Metallic Compound Air-fed Array Antennas for13 GHz Microwave Radio-link Applications

摘要：

　　A novel structure of metallic compound air-fed array (CAFA) antennas, as a kind of improved Fabry-Perot resonator (FRP), is proposed in this paper.With stepped metallic ground plate, metallic grating cover and open-ended waveguide feeding, this kind of antenna exhibits features of low profile, low cost and easy integration into microwave out-door unit (ODU).The operating principle, design procedure, simulation analysis and an experimental prototype for application of 13 GHz microwave radio-link are presented.The measured results exhibit:19.2 dBi peak gain, 3.85% common bandwidth for both 3 dB gain-drop and VSWR≤1.5∶1, and good radiation characteristics.
