초록

본 논문에서는 다중 편파 및 3:1 이하의 대역폭을 갖는 광대역 혼 안테나 설계 기법을 제시하였다. 급전단은 다중 편파 및 광대역 구현을 위하여 4중 릿지(Quadruple Ridge) 형태의 도파관을 적용하였으며, 반구(Semi­sphere) 형태의 백 쇼(Back Short)를 갖는 캐비티 구조내에 쇼팅 바(Shorting Bar)를 삽입함으로써 반사손실을 최소화하였다. 안테나 개구면에서의 위상보정을 통해 안테나 범 패턴을 개선시키기 위하여 주름진 형태의 유전체 렌즈를 설계하였다. 설계 기법을 기반으로 제작된 얀테나의 측정결과를 제시함으로써 설계 방법의 타당성을 겸증하였다.

In this paper, a design method of broadband horn antenna having 3:1 bandwidth and multiple polarization characteristics is proposed. The feeding section of the antenna adopts quadruple-ridged waveguide type for broadband and multiple polarization characteristics of the antenna. By inserting a shorting bar in the cavity structure with a semi-sphere type back short, the return loss at the feeding section was minimized. A corrugated dielectric lens is designed for phase compensation and lens-surface matching at the antenna aperture, which improves the antenna beam pattern. The validity of the design method is verified by indicating the measured data of the antenna.
