Abstract

PURPOSE:To switch the directivity of this antenna with a simple feeder circuit by combining an inverted F-shaped resonant radiator which is a small-sized thin structive antenna and a 3dB directional coupler instead of an antenna constituted of a monopole antenna and reflecting plate. CONSTITUTION:As for the electromagnetic field radiated from a resonant radiator 4, the z component of the electric field is of concern. The component of the electromagnetic field in the x-y plane has the shape of the figure 8 which has a maximum value and the an about 90 deg. half-value width in the positive- negative direction of the y-axis, and the component in the y-z plane has nearly uniform directivity in the upper section (z>0) of an earth plate. Accordingly, one maximum value of the directivity can be realized in a horizontal plane by means of a + or -90 deg. phase difference, since the intervals between inverted F- shaped resonant radiators 8-1 and 8-3 and between radiators 8-2 and 8-4 can be decided appropriately. Therefore, the directivity of this plane array antenna can be changed in the horizontal plane by switching the input terminals of the input-output terminals 13-1, 13-2, 14-1, and 14-2 of a 3-dB directional coupler.

It is determined by the combination of b and h, and a can be set to a step length of 1/10 to 5 minutes of the resonant wavelength when excited by a resonant radiator or fundamental moat. It is also possible to downsize the resonator by filling a dielectric between the ground plane and the resonant radiator. The radiated electromagnetic field from this resonant radiator is the main electric field in two directions, and at that time, in the xy plane (horizontal plane), the maximum value is in the positive and negative directions of the y axis, and the half width is about 90 degrees. In the figure 8 shape, in the yz plane (vertical plane), the directivity is almost negative above the ground plate (2>○).
