  • the dielectric constant Br is 10
  • the width of each aperture is approximately 0.65 mm

  • the separation between apertures is approximately 1.30 mm. It should be understood, however, that these dimensions may vary depending on the operating wavelength, the dielectric constant, and potentially other parameters.
  • the width of the antenna array is approximately 23 mm, and the width of the aperture pattern (e.g., the dielectric filling pattern) along the conductive wall 302 equals or exceeds 23 mm.
  • Performance characteristics can vary with changes in the physical characteristics of the apertures. At least four physical parameters may be modified to adjust the performance of the antenna array: (1) aperture width, designated by “a”; (2) aperture length, designated by “b”; (3) aperture separation, designated by “c”; and the dielectric constant of the conductive wall 302 or frame (including the fillings). Other physical parameters may also have an impact on performance.
  • the aperture width (a) can be adjusted as a trade-off between gain and impedance bandwidth. If there is a fixed periodicity of the apertures in the frame, the narrower the aperture width is, the wider the overall strip would be. Therefore, the gain is higher at lower frequencies. The impedance bandwidth is, however, narrower when the width of the apertures is reduced.
  • the aperture length (b) has a strong influence on the gain of the antenna array and the reflection coefficient of the antenna array. Increasing the length of the apertures reduces the frame blockage of the electric field and, therefore, allows the electric field to propagate through the conductive wall 302, thereby increasing the gain.
  • the aperture periodicity is another parameter that affects the performance of the antenna array. If the aperture separation is increased, the gain also increases but the impedance bandwidth narrows. Generally, the periodicity is smaller than l/2.
  • the dielectric constant of the frame is another physical parameter that influences performance. The gain increases as the permittivity of the frame increases. That is, the gain increase occurs when the frame is constructed of a conductive wall with dielectric fillings. In another implementation, in which a dielectric material is placed in front of the array in the absence of a conductive wall, an increase in the substrate permittivity does not necessarily transform into an increase of gain, but a shift of the frequency towards lower frequencies is exhibited.

  • the darker colors indicate a higher electric field, and the darkest colors in the electric field distribution 502 are darker than the darkest colors in the electric field distribution 500.
  • the electrical field is significantly attenuated in the electric field distribution 500, whereas the electric field distribution 502 (with the patterned dielectric fillings) shows many regions of high electric field passing through the conductive wall.
