This paper proposes a broadband high-gain Fabry-Perot (F-P) antenna composed of an air-loaded slot-coupled broadband microstrip antenna and a frequency selective surface (FSS) based positive gradient reflection phase structure. The gain enhancement is achieved by the superposition effect of multiple reflections and transmissions. By cascading the single-layer FSS and dielectric substrate, a positive gradient reflection phase over a wider frequency range is achieved. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the design.
In this paper, a broadband high-gain Fabry-Perot (F-P) antenna composed of the air-loaded slot-coupled broadband microstrip antenna and the frequency selective surface (FSS) based positive gradient reflection phase structure is proposed. Taking advantage of the superposition effect of multiple reflections and transmissions occurring between layer structures, the gain enhancement was realized. Meanwhile, by cascading the single-layer FSS and the dielectric substrate, the positive gradient reflection phase over a wider frequency range was achieved. Simulated results show that the resonant frequency of the designed F-P antenna is 10 GHz, the impedance matching band (S11 < -10 dB) ranges from 8.3 GHz to 11.25 GHz with a bandwidth of 29.5%, and the antenna gain is improved significantly in the range of 8.1 GHz similar to 11.25 GHz with a gain bandwidth of 31.5%. For further verification, a prototype was fabricated, and the experimental and simulated results are in good agreement.
