Design and implementation of compact Broad-beam antennas for perimeter-surveillance radar operating at 24 GHz

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

For future perimeter-surveillance radar applications, our industrial partner, K&Gspectrum Inc, is interested in developing compact and broad-beam antennas that will provide a 90ox90o-radiation beam. Such broad beam antennas will be employed in K&Gspectrum's perimeter-surveillance radar systems for covering large surveillance areas. In this perspective, we propose in this project to design and develop a new compact broad-beam antenna operating at ISM band of 24 GHz. In this project, K&Gspectrum Inc. will provide research support and guidance to the researcher throughout the project. Furthermore, the project will capitalize on the advanced RF laboratory facility funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the Quebec government. The requested support from the NSERC would allow the proposed team to design and develop compact broad-beam antennas for future perimeter-surveillance radar systems. The antennas should be compact and provide a large radiation beam with high performances in terms of efficiency and beamwidth. With these features, the proposed antenna can be used in perimeter surveillance radars to cover wide areas with large angles in azimuth and elevation planes. To cope with this challenge, the proposed research will focus on three parts: (i) theoretical study to evaluate recent developments in the field of mm-wave antenna design and to find the potential candidates; (ii) design and analysis to develop compact broad beam antennas, and (iii) prototyping and characterization of the proposed antennas. The developed technology will be beneficial to K&Gspectrum Inc. and the Canadian space industry in general by efficiently contributing in the development of new broad beam antennas operating at 24 GHz band for perimeter-surveillance radar applications.
