Compact Low-Profile Aperture Antenna with Integrated Diplexer
An efficient, low-profile, lightweight fixed-beam (constant angle of departure) aperture antenna. The aperture antenna includes an array of horn radiators coupled to a waveguide diplexer by means of a stripline distribution network. The stripline distribution network is embedded in a printed wiring board (PWB), which PWB is sandwiched between a radiator plate (incorporating the horn radiators) and a diplexer plate. The aperture antenna may further include a backside ground plane made of metal. The diplexer plate and backside cover plate are configured to form the waveguide diplexer. Each horn radiator has a respective circular opening at one end adjacent to the PWB.

COPLANAR SIDE-FED TIGHTLY COUPLED ARRAY WITH DUAL-POLARIZATION
An ultra-wideband dual-polarized tightly coupled bowtie antenna array for ground-based polar ice sounding radar is described. The antenna array has a very large effective aperture to increase the directivity. At the same time, it is lightweight and low profile to minimize the payload and maximize the survey range. In an implementation, the antenna array operates between 180-620 MHz with a fractional bandwidth of 3.4:1. The broadband performance benefits from the tightly coupled antenna elements. A feature of the antenna array is the planar feeding structure without balun. The antenna array element has the microstrip feeding line integrated with one arm of the bowtie antenna. The other arm is directly fed by the microstrip line. By adding a ferrite core around the coax cable for common mode suppression, the bowtie antenna element can be fed differentially without using bulky vertical feeding structure and balun.
