Experimental validation demonstrates wide-angle beam scanning in a Ka-band phased array, suggesting viable low-cost tracking for mobile satellite terminals.
This paper presents a low-profile, high-performance, and low-cost Ka-band circularly polarized (CP) passive phased-array antenna (PAA) system. A 1 x 4 passive subarray operating at the Ka-band frequency band is investigated, developed, and tested as a possible building block for mobile satellite communication systems. In particular, a CP antenna integrated with a high-performance passive phase shifter is presented and experimentally verified. A new low-cost and low-profile magnetic actuator is proposed to precisely control the phase state of the phase shifter. A 3-D printed polymer package is utilized to enclose the phase shifter and reduce the environmental effects. The proposed CP passive PAA achieves high-performance right-hand CP radiation with high cross-polarization discrimination over a wide scan angle from 0° to ±38° over the frequency band (29.5-30.5 GHz). An axial ratio (AR) <; 3 dB is demonstrated over the entire scanning range. Moreover, the measured radiation efficiency is 60% at boresight. The gain drops by 1 dB at ±38° scanning angles.
