MICROSTRIP ANTENNA ARRAY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: radio engineering. SUBSTANCE: microwave antenna array is designed for use in polarity metering radars, radiointroscopes, electromagnetic medical applicators, data transmission and reception systems. Antenna array is capable of using linear vertical and horizontal polarization as well as circular right-hand and left- hand polarization in its operation. It has even number of radiators forming rectangle and located in assemblies of rectangular coordinate grid where they are spaced apart by gaps. Central radiators of four relatively perpendicular beams of rectangular coordinate grid are rectangular in shape with one side of rectangle as long as wavelength and adjacent side equal to half-wavelength; remaining radiators are square in shape with square side as long as wavelength. Connected to each central radiator at point in center of side edge is antenna feed. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 6 cl, 7 dwg
