提出了一种工作在Ku波段的新型柔性可扩展贴片天线阵，该天线阵通过微带到微带的过渡实现了单个贴片天线片和一个企业馈电网络。对2×2阵列的仿真和测量都表明，在中心频率处有很好的匹配和辐射。通过复制馈送元素，可以将四块瓷砖阵列的基本结构扩展到任何更大的2^N元素阵列。馈线被翻转以连接到每个贴片天线。该设计可以应用于可扩展的有源相控阵雷达，支持未来大容量5G通信的需求。
This paper presents a novel flexible and scalable tiled antenna array operating at Ku band, with individual patch antenna tiles and a corporate feeding network achieved by microstrip-to-microstrip transition. Both simulation and measurements for a 2 by 2 array show good matching and radiation at center frequency. The basic structure of the four tiles array can be scaled to any larger array of 2^N elements by duplicating the feeding element. The feed line is flipped to make connection to each patch antenna. This design can be applied to scalable active phased-array radars and support future demand for high volume 5G communication.
