摘要

设计、加工、并测试了一款X波段单脉冲透射阵天线，该天线由平面透射阵和馈源天线组成，其中馈源天线集成了基于孔径耦合的微带结构以及和差网络。仿真和测试结果表明，所提单脉冲天线具有21.5 dBi主波束增益，副瓣电平值在−13.4 dB以下，交叉极化电平值小于−20 dB。此外，和波束与差波束在E面和H面的增益比值分别为5.6 dB和4 dB。该天线具有重量轻、成本低等优点，有望用于低成本动中通系统。

Abstract

An X-band monopulse antenna based on transmitarray with light-weight and low-cost features is designed

fabricated

and measured. The proposed antenna is composed of a transmitarray lens

a feed source which combines aperture-coupled microstrip antennas

and a sum-difference (SUM-DIFF) comparator. According to simulation and measurement results of the transmitarray based monopulse antenna

gain of sum beam reaches 21.5 dBi. The sidelobe level is below -‍13.4 dB

and the cross polarization level is below -‍20 dB. In addition

the gain ratios between the sum beam and difference beam in E-plane and H-plane are 5.6 dB and 4 dB

respectively. The transmitarray based monopulse antenna could be applied in low-cost SATCOM on the move (SOTM) system.
