Özet:

 

Typical low-cost, low-weight microstrip base station antenna  arrays with beam-scanning capabilities are taken into account.  In  downtowns of large cities like New York, Chicago, and in historical  cities like Istanbul, where high buildings are separated by narrow but  densely occupied streets, antenna arrays with approximately 20°-35°  beam-widths are required to complete the cellular communication  coverage.  To meet this requirement, new antenna arrays are designed  with 35° beam-widths and 60° electronic scanning capabilities. Their  characteristics are investigated both numerically and experimentally.   An FDTD-based antenna simulation package (M-PATCH) is prepared, tested  on canonical structures and against the literature first, for  verification and calibration.  Then, the characteristics of the  designed arrays are investigated via M-PATCH. Finally, the arrays are  experimentally verified.  It is illustrated that, the results of  simulations and experiments agree very well, and the arrays meet the  design criteria.
