A miniaturized phased array aperture antenna based on bulk ferroelectric material
Abstract
In this article, we proposed a novel miniaturized phased array aperture antenna using a voltage-controllable ferroelectric material with high dielectric constant. This antenna system combines the phase shifters and the radiating elements in a single structure, that could significantly simplify the complexity and the cost of the conventional phased array antenna systems. Simulation results on such structure are given, which agrees well with the theoretical analysis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
