Abstract

In this paper, we mainly study the electromagnetic transmission characteristics of transmission array antennas and transmission units. Based on array antenna theory and geometric theory, we construct a transmission array antenna for a double conformal rings (DCR). It works in a 10GHz two-layer transmission array. A double resonant conformal rings are used as the unit element. By changing the physical dimensions of the double conformal unit, phase coverage of up to 600° can be achieved. And the 1d B gain bandwidth is has by 7% compared to the previous transmission array. The simulated and measured peak gain is 27.59 dB and 25.91dB, respectively.
