Abstract
A multibeam integrated reflector antenna operating in the millimeter wave band is considered. The antenna consists of a radiating array, a planar mirror, and a multichannel feed. The results of simulation of a radiating array of slots in a metal screen are presented. The array is manufactured on the basis of a medium with forced refraction, including a double-slot array, which can radiate along the normal to the array plane. Operation of the array in the multibeam mode is analyzed. It is shown that application of a medium with forced refraction increases the array aperture efficiency in this mode. The results of the design of a planar two-layer mirror are presented and the mirror’s quality indices are estimated. A multichannel radiator designed as an array of planar H-plane horns is studied. The results of simulation of such a radiator with the help of an approximate technique and numerical solution of an electromagnetic problem are considered. The design of the multibeam antenna and its experimental characteristics are presented.
