Abstract

In this paper, a shaped small-size ADE(Axially Displaced Ellipse) reflector antenna of 30 cm in diameter operating from 37 to 40 GHz was designed. The experimental antenna was manufactured, and the radiation characteristics evaluated. In the procedure of antenna design, aperture field distribution was assumed to uniform + parabolic distribution. And the variations of beam width, aperture efficiency, and sidelobe level as functions of aperture field distributions were investigated, and these results presented to be used in antenna design. The measured gain and sidelobe level of experimental antenna were found 39.9 dBi(efficiency : 61.9%) and -18.8 dB for 40 GHz. These values show good agreement in design goal of efficiency more than 60% and sidelobe level less than -20 dB.

본 논문에서는 37~40 GHz 대의 직경 30 cm의 소형 경면수정 ADE 반사경 안테나를 설계 제작하고 복사 특성을 고찰하였다 안테나 설계시 개구면 전계분포는 균일분포와 포물분포가 결합된 전계분포로 가정하고 빔폭, 개구연효율, 사이드로브 레벨 특성의 변화를 고찰하고 이것을 설계에 이용할 수 있도록 하였다. 설계 제작된 안테나의 이득과 사이드로브 레벨은 40 GHz에서 39.9 dBi(효율 : 61.9 %)와 -18.8 dB로 측정되었다. 이는 설계시 목표했던 효율 60 % 이상, 사이드로브 레벨 -20 dB 이하에 근접한 것으로 나타났다.
