SHAPED-BEAM ANTENNA WITH MULTI-LAYERED METALLIC DISK ARRAY STRUCTURE SURROUNDED BY DIELECTRIC RING

摘要

Provided is a shaped-beam antenna having a multi-layered conductive element array surrounded by a dielectric ring. The shaped-beam antenna includes: a planar excitation element having a radiation structure according to a required polarization; a multi-layered conductive element array disposed on the planer excitation element, wherein the multi-layered conductive element array is formed by layering conductive elements at an arbitrary interval; and a dielectric ring surrounding the multi-layered conductive element array at a predetermined separation distance therefrom. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the entire size of the shaped-beam antenna and manufacturing costs thereof.
