POLARIZED-ADAPTATION MICROSTRIP ANTENNA ARRAY Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: microwave antenna engineering. SUBSTANCE: microwave antenna array with polarized adaptation to radiated and received signals designed for use in polarimeter radars for metering parameters of Muller matrix, microwave imagers, microwave medical electromagnetic overlay apparatuses, communication and metrological systems with any type of linear polarization arbitrarily oriented between 0 and 180 deg. and with any type of circular polarization (right- or left-hand) or elliptical polarization, with polarization- modulated signal has even number of rectangular radiators whose centers are located in rectangular-graticule nodes and spaced apart through certain gaps. Central radiators are made in the form of rectangle one of whose sides equals wavelength and adjacent one, half of wavelength; remaining radiators are square-shaped with each side equal to wavelength. Exciting elements in the form of metal probes are connected to each central radiator at center of side edge. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 6 cl, 6 dwg
