Abstract
This article presents a wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) phased array with a large beam-scanning angle for the communication of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed array is composed of 8 shorted patch antenna elements. The shorted patch operates in TM1/2,1 mode. A T-shaped slot with dual resonance modes is etched on the radiating shorted patch. By combining the hybrid operating modes together, a wideband performance is realized. The beamwidth of the shorted patch can be increased by coupling with neighboring elements. The inherent wide-beam characteristic of the slot is fully utilized. Thus, the antenna element achieves a wide beamwidth of about 140° in a broad frequency band. A wide-angle beam-scanning phased array is achieved using wide beamwidth of the proposed elements. The measured result demonstrates that the proposed array can cover a beam-scanning angle of more than ±75° in a broad operating frequency band from 24 to 30 GHz. To validates its effectiveness for UAV communication, the proposed array is also simulated and measured on the model of an UAV.
期刊介绍：
The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
