The radiation characteristics of a microstrip circularly-polarized aperture-patch $8\times8$ array antenna are investigated at X-band. The radiator consists of a truncated square aperture on the ground plane with an inclined rectangular patch inside, and it is coupled by a microstrip line on the opposite side of the ground. The element spacing of the array was chosen as $0.8\lambda_0$so as to minimize the mutual coupling and maximize the gain. A corporate feed network was employed to distribute the power to each element through four Wilkinson and two T-junction dividers. Measurement results for the $8\times8$ array at 10 GHz showed a directivity of 26.3 dBi, a gain of 22.2 dBi, an axial ratio of 2.97 dB, and a side lobe level of -12.7dB. It was observed that when the array size increases, the directivity increases while the efficiency decreases.

In this paper, an analytical method and a difference approximation method to calculate the gradient of an objective function have been applied to the directivity optimization in an adaptive ultrasonic transducer which is combined with a point source array and an optimization algorithm (DFP method). To compare these two methods, quasi-ideal .beam with a beam width and direction specified are chosen as the desired directivity. As the numerical results, the difference approximation method shows better suppressive capacity of side lobe level, good stability in the convergence processing, faster convergence speed and excellent adaptability compared with the analytical method.

In this paper, we have designed the elliptical dual offset gregorian antenna which can use Ka band earth station antennas in the fixed-satellite service. The structure of antenna is increasing the antenna gain by decreasing blockage areas and decreasing wind effects by shortening height of the antenna. The corrugate horn antenna for this antenna has symmetric radiation patterns and low side lobe levels that can meet ITU-R envelope. The distribution of electric field on a aperture of main reflector is calculated by an ray-tracing method that use the radiation pattern of the feed horn. The final geometric of antena is decided by choosing the distribution that comply with antenna requirement. The FEKO analysed electrical performance of this antenna. The fabricated antenna has 45.0dBi(@30.0GHz)/41.7dBi(@20.2GHz), high efficiency and low side lobe level that meet ITU-R S. 580-6 envelope.

Array error analysis and correction of active array antenna are described in this paper. Array elements composed of radiator and TR(Transmit & Recive) module have error(magnitude and phase difference among array elements) which affects SLL(Side Lobe Level). Error affectedness level depends on ideal SLL according to antenna aperture weighting, number of array elements and antenna effective aperture. To satisfy required SLL, correction of array elements is necessary; adopted differently per errors, and weighted differently per shapes of antenna and required SLL. Errors of every individual element had been defined, performance of the antenna with or without error correction had been estimated and proved through near field test.

Resolution 122 requires to study power limitation applicable for HAPS ground stations to facilitate sharing with space station receivers in 47/48GHz bands. ITU-R Recommendation 1481-1 recommends to improve the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antenna for frequency sharing between FSS system and HAPS system. In this paper, we propose the maximum allowable off-axis e.i.r.p. level of HAPS ground station antennas by considering power limitation to HAPS ground station in Resolution 122, and by improving the side lobe characteristics of HAPS ground station antennas in Recommendation SF.1481-1. The simulation results show that the unfeasible sharing distance between HAPS ground station and FSS earth station can be reduced remarkably, and give the possibility of frequency sharing between two above systems.

The 4 by 4 microstrip phased array antenna designed and radiation characteristics are studied. The design frequency was chosen to be 5.8GHz. Chebyshev ratio was achieved by unequal power divider and Wilkinson power divider. The ratio of current at each port is 1 : 2.6 : 2.6 : 1 and then side lobe level is less than -30 dB. It is shown that the radiation beam direction can be changed up to 30。 by control the phase at each port. The result can be used to design electrically controllable microwave scanning antennas.

We design a circular microstrip array antenna using the admittance of circular resonator. We can design the array antenna, considering equivalent radius of circular microstdrip consistant with conductances which are obtained from excitation coefficeients of the array elements.

Frequency responses of the surface acoustic wave(SAW) filters are simulated by using the impulse modeling. The simulation technique of the SAW filters is to use the Fourier transformation to make a correspondence between the impulse response of the filter and the taps in the delay line. Since the Fourier series must be truncated after a finite number of terms, window functions are often used to weight the coefficients to obtain the desirable side-lobe level and bandwidth. The filter design is operated through the iterative simulation procedures. The design process is capable of yielding filters with optimized frequency response characteristics.

In this paper, we propose the optimization of subarray configurations for linear array to minimize the side lobe level (SLL) in sum beam pattern based on the genetic algorithm. The operations of genetic algorithm are modified to be applied to subarray configurations. Using the proposed method, we construct subarray structure with 16 irregular subarray elements from 40 linear array elements to minimize the SLL in sum beam pattern in case of applying the adaptive beamforming(ABF) to suppress the jamming power, whose the SLL is 10 dB lower than that of regular subarray configuration.

Herein, several multibeam forming methods that can be applied to microwave wireless power transmission are presented. Because the conventional multibeam forming methods do not consider an active element pattern(AEP), an intended beam shape will contain a steering angle error when applied to an actual system. To solve this problem, a method of considering the average of the AEP and a method of considering all the AEPs by the modified Fourier series method have been proposed. We confirmed that the proposed method reduces the error with the intended beam shape in the multibeam formation. In addition, for the side lobe level(SLL) and null control, a method of multibeam forming by applying the superposition principle to the Dolph-Tschebyscheff method is proposed. We also confirmed that SLL control can be simultaneously achieved with the multibeam formation.
