Neste artigo, uma nova rede Beamforming (BFN) realizada em Broadside Coupled Stripline (BCS) é proposta para alimentar antenas de arranjos 1×4 e 2×2 na banda de 28 GHz. O novo BFN é composto apenas por acopladores e desfasadores. Não requer nenhum crossover em comparação com o Butler Matrix (BM) convencional, que requer dois crossovers. O acoplamento estreito e as características de baixa perda do BCS permitem um projeto de um BFN compacto e de banda larga. O novo BFN produz as diferenças de fase de (±90°) e (±45°, ±135°) respectivamente nas direções x e y. Sua integração com uma antena de arranjo linear 1×4 reduz a área do arranjo em 70% com uma melhoria no desempenho de ganho em comparação com o arranjo convencional. A integração com um array 2×2 permite a realização de uma varredura completa de feixe 2-D. O conceito proposto foi verificado experimentalmente medindo os protótipos fabricados do BFN, as antenas patch array 1-D e 2-D. Os ganhos máximos medidos de 11.5 dBi e 11.3 dBi são realizados em θ0 = 14° e (θ0,φ0) = direções (45°,345°), respectivamente, para as matrizes de patch 1-D e 2-D. A área física do BFN fabricado é de apenas (0.37λ0×0.3λ0×0.08λ0), enquanto as áreas das antenas do arranjo 1-D e do arranjo 2-D sem linhas de transmissão de alimentação são respectivamente (0.5λ0×2.15λ0×0.08λ0) e (0.9λ0×0.8λ0×0.08λ0).

Abstract: In this article, a new Beamforming Network (BFN) realized in Broadside Coupled Stripline (BCS) is proposed to feed 1×4 and 2×2 arrays antenna at 28 GHZ-Band. The new BFN is composed only of couplers and phase shifters. It doesn't require any crossover compared to the conventional Butler Matrix (BM) which requires two crossovers. The tight coupling and low loss characteristics of the BCS allow a design of a compact and wideband BFN. The new BFN produces the phase differences of (±90°) and (±45°, ±135°) respectively in x- and y-directions. Its integration with a 1×4 linear array antenna reduces the array area by 70% with an improvement of the gain performance compared with the conventional array. The integration with a 2×2 array allows the realization of a full 2-D beam scanning. The proposed concept has been verified experimentally by measuring the fabricated prototypes of the BFN, the 1-D and 2-D patch arrays antennas. The measured 11.5 dBi and 11.3 dBi maximum gains are realized in θ0 = 14° and (θ0, φ0) = (45°,345°) directions respectively for the 1-D and 2-D patch arrays. The physical area of the fabricated BFN is only (0.37λ0×0.3λ0×0.08λ0), while the 1-D array and 2-D array antennas areas without feeding transmission lines are respectively (0.5λ0×2.15λ0×0.08λ0) and (0.9λ0×0.8λ0×0.08λ0).
