COPLANAR ANTENNA STRUCTURE HAVING A WIDE SLOT
An antenna is disclosed. The antenna can include a coplanar antenna structure. The coplanar antenna structure can include a substrate and a radiating portion that is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation and is disposed over the substrate. The radiating portion defines a slot having a width to length ratio of at least approximately 0.4. The antenna also includes a scattering element disposed over the substrate and at least partially surrounds the radiating portion.
BEAMFORMING VIA SPARSE ACTIVATION OF ANTENNA ELEMENTS CONNECTED TO PHASE ADVANCE WAVEGUIDES
Systems and methods described herein include a two-dimensional antenna array of antenna pixels having length and width dimensions of less than one-half of an operational wavelength. In various examples, each antenna pixel comprises a fixed number of phase-adjustable antenna elements. The antenna elements of each antenna pixel may be coupled to the waveguide with interelement spacings selected to associate each antenna element with a distinct phase advance value. A controller identifies a target phase value for each antenna pixel that corresponds to a target beamform for the two-dimensional antenna. A controller activates and adjusts a phase response of one of the antenna elements in each antenna pixel, such that the phase advance value associate with the activated antenna element and the adjusted phase response combine to attain the target phase value for the antenna pixel as a whole.
