Abstract

This paper presents a microstrip planar antenna array designed for near-field focusing operating at 10 GHz. It is a challenge to reach the phase and amplitude distribution of near-field-focused antenna arrays with small focal spots. The antenna elements of this array are arranged radially on the aperture of only 5.6λ0 × 5.6λ0, which reduces the focal spot diameter. We designed an unequal-amplitude unequal-phase power divider to reach phase distribution and binomial taper distribution. The proposed array suppresses the sidelobes on the focal plane. It increases the electric field intensity by 11.46 dB compared with the horn with the same aperture size and increases 9.42 dB compared with the equal-phase array. The focus spot diameter is only 0.33λ0. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement, which verifies the high performance of the array. This miniaturized high-focus array has a good prospect in near-field applications like wireless energy transmission and industrial detection.
