Abstract
A dual-polarized wide-angle scanning array antenna is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna array consists of sixteen elements with the working band from 9.5 to 10.5 GHz. A microstrip patch fed from two orthogonal directions is applied to achieve dual-polarization. In order to obtain good impedance matching and wide bandwidth of the antenna, capacitive coupling feeding is adopted. The measured results show that the proposed array can cover a wide scanning range of ±58°. The polarization isolations of antenna are higher than 17 dB. The isolations between receiving sub-array and transmitting sub-array are higher than 22.3 dB. The proposed array antenna is suitable for Van Atta applications.
