Abstract

In this paper, a method of feeding for the near field beam scanning array antenna with three dimensional focal point has been studied. The conventional array antenna theory is mostly about the far field points. The basic idea is to feed the transmitted signal so that it is in phase at the desired point. In this study, a method is proposed to compensate the phase to have the maximum received power at the point where the measurement point distance is near to the array antenna size. In the proposed method, 11 point source antennas are arrayed in three ways in free space. And the contour map is plotted by calculating the radiation patterns in the three dimensional space and the received signal intensities in the plane within the near space. As a result, it was confirmed that 3 dimensional beam scanning is possible also in the near field of the array antenna.

본 논문은 근거리 빔 스캐닝 배열 안테나의 3차원 초점을 갖도록 급전하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존의 배열 안테나 이론은 원거리 측정점에 대한 것이 대부분이다. 기본적 개념은 방사되는 신호의 위상을 원하는 지점에서 동위상이 되도록 급전하는 것이다. 본 연구에서도 이러한 기본적인 원리를 적용하여 배열 안테나 크기에 비해 측정점의 거리가 근거리에 위치한 점에서 최대 수신 전력을 갖도록 위상을 보상해 주는 방법을 제안 하였다. 제안한 방법으로 자유 공간에 11개의 안테나를 3가지 방법으로 배열하여 3차원 공간에서의 방사패턴과 근거리내의 평면에서의 수신 신호의 크기에 계산하여 대한 등고선 그래프를 작성하였다. 그래프를 분석한 결과 배열 안테나의 근거리 영역에서 빔 스캐닝이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.
