摘要
This letter presents a new design of a Fabry-Perot resonator antenna (FPRA) with a wide gain bandwidth. A double-layered dielectric superstrate, which produces a reflection phase curve versus frequency with a positive slope, is used as a partially reflective surface (PRS) to enhance the bandwidth of the FPRA. For a physical insight, the PRS is analyzed by using the transmission line theory and Smith Chart. Experimental results demonstrate that the antenna has a 3-dB gain bandwidth over 13.5-17.5 GHz, relatively 25.8%, with a peak gain of 15 dBi. Furthermore, the gain band is overlapped well by the impedance band for the reflection coefficient (S11) less than - 10 dB.
