In this paper,a dual circularly polarized(CP) monostatic simultaneous transmit and receive(MSTAR) antenna with enhanced isolation is proposed to alleviate the problem. The proposed antenna consists of one sequentially rotating array(SRA), two beamforming networks(BFN), and a combined decoupling structure. The SRA is shared by the transmit and receive to reduce the size of the antenna and to obtain a consistent transmit and receive pattern.The BFN achieve right-hand CP for transmit and left-hand CP for receive. By exploring the combined decoupling structure of uniplanar compact electromagnetic band gap(UC-EBG) and ringshaped defected ground structure(RS-DGS), good transmitreceive isolation is achieved. The proposed antenna prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized. The simulated and measured results show good agreement. The demonstrate transmit/receive isolation is height than 33 dB, voltage standing wave ratio is lower than 2, axial ratio is lower than 3 dB, and consistent radiation for both transmit and receive is within4.25-4.35 GHz.展开更多

A novel uni-planar compact electromagnetic band-gap( EBG) structure is proposed, which shows excellent performance when applied to broadband stacked or aperture coupled microstrip array antennae. The test results indicate that,the directivity is effectively improved,and the front-to-back ratio is increased,and the thickness of the antenna is reduced. These improvements make this structure better used in airborne antennae.展开更多
