초록

본 논문에서는 2축 십자형 모노펄스 축을 가지는 Ka 대역 밀리미터파 탐색기용 안테나를 설계하였고, 진공 브레이징 기법으로 제작 후 측정을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 또한, Ka 대역 도파관 순환기 설계 및 제작하여 순환기가 포함된 안테나 조립체 단위에서도 성능을 확인하였다. 안테나의 복사부는 Elliot 설계방법에 최적화 알고리즘을 적용하여 최적의 슬롯 길이 및 오프셋 값을 설계하였으며, 급전부는 십자형 모노펄스 축을 구현하기 위해 접힌 구조의 도파관을 적용하여 S-parameter 특성을 최적화 하였다. 설계된 안테나 조립체는 제작 및 전자파측정을 통해 33.3 dBi 이득, $3.5^{\circ}{\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ 빔폭, -23 dB 이하 부엽준위 특성을 확인하였으며, 본 결과는 설계 결과와 유사함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an antenna having 2-axes cross monopulse for Ka band millimeter-wave seeker is designed and antenna performance is verified through vacuum-brazing method for fabrication and measurement. Also, by designing and manufacturing a waveguide circulator the antenna including the circulator is measured. Radiating part of the antenna takes optimized slot lengths and offsets from Elliot's array synthesis procedure using the generic algorithm and feeding part for cross monopulse axes uses the folded waveguide to optimize the S-parameter result. Based on this method, the antenna has 33.3 dBi gain, $3.5^{\circ}{\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ beamwidth, below -23 dB SLL through fabricating and measuring. It is found that antenna characteristics is similar to design results.
