Abstract
In this paper, series feed networks based on composite right/left-handed transmission line for dual-polarized frequency scanning phased array antenna are presented. The proposed all-passive feed networks provide unique frequency dispersion and adjustable current amplitude distribution, which enable continuous backward-to-forward beam scanning capability as well as the directivity, beamwidth, and sidelobe level controllability of the incorporated array antenna. The working mechanisms are demonstrated through broadband dual-polarized aperture-coupled antenna elements and series feed networks that support uniform/binomial current amplitude distributions. Backward-to-forward frequency beam scanning and wide range beam shaping capability for dual-polarization states of the proposed phased array are validated in both simulation and measurement.
