Wide-Angle Scanning Phased Array Based on Phase Mode Antenna Element

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 164, 271-278, 2026
Abstract
To address the significant gain degradation that conventional phased arrays suffer during wide-angle scanning, a linear antenna array based on phase mode antenna elements is proposed. The phase mode antenna element is three-layer structure with two feeding ports. It can operate in odd mode, even mode, and hybrid mode by using different excitation strategies, and continuous beam scanning is achieved using hybrid mode, which results in a wide-angle beam scanning performance of the antenna array. The maximum beam gain can be obtained by using the method of maximum power transmission efficiency (MMPTE) compared with the traditional beam scanning method. The optimal excitation distributions calculated by MMPTE lead to a significant improvement in wide-angle beam scanning for the phase mode antenna array.
