Dipole Panel Array | Antenna Magus
 |
Image of the Dipole panel array. |
The dipole panel array includes a grid reflector, along with four dipoles and their respective quarter-wave baluns, which enable feeding of the structure using an unbalanced coaxial line. This practical and simple antenna is suited to low-cost and robust applications.
The equal amplitude, progressive phase excitation of the four-element array produces a circularly polarised pattern. The omnidirectional radiation pattern of the dipole element is transformed into a single broadside lobe through the addition of the reflector.
 |
Typical 3D radiation pattern at the center frequency. |
 |
Typical S11 performance of the antenna. |

Microstrip to Waveguide Transition | Antenna Magus
The transition between a microstrip line and a rectangular waveguide is accomplished by inserting a probe, connected to the microstrip line on the same substrate, into a slot in the broad wall of a rectangular waveguide. These transitions are useful for... -
4 Waveguide-fed Dual Polarized Pyramidal Horn Antenna | Antenna Magus
The structure consists of four individual rectangular waveguide sections which are connected and separated by a central metallic block which extends the length of the waveguide. Each waveguide is flared in both directions to create an aperture which forms...

Microstrip Stub Matching Transition | Antenna Magus
Open and shorted shunt stub matching transitions are very useful when matching antennas with complex input impedances. By improving the impedance match between the antenna and the system, power transfer can be improved resulting in more efficient system... -

2x2 Array of Wire Helix Antennas | Antenna Magus
This axial-mode helix array consists of four identical helices placed in a 2-by-2 grid, rotated sequentially about their axis, and fed sequentially out of phase.
