- Abstract
The pattern synthesis based on the spectral Green's functions for multi-layered perforated dielectric loaded patch antenna is presented. It is conducted by optimising the dielectric superstrate parameters, i.e. relative permittivity (εr) and thickness. To solve the problem of the optimised εr unavailable from market, perforated dielectric superstrate (PDS) is utilised. The equivalence between PDS and homogeneous dielectric superstrate (HDS) in spectral domain is investigated and the effective relative permittivity (εreff) of PDS is studied. Moreover, by introducing εreff, the general optimisation procedure for HDS loaded antenna is also applicable for PDS loaded antenna, which reduces the computational cost significantly. To validate their method, a two-layer PDS loaded patch antenna with E/H beamwidth equalisation was designed, fabricated and measured. Simulations and measurements show that the synthesised antenna has satisfactory performances over the ITU-RS.1068-1994 band from 13.75 to 14 GHz. The half 10 dB E/H beamwidths of 19°/20°, -27 dB cross polarisation and -15.5 dB side lobe level have been achieved.
