Abstract

Abstract

A low Radar Cross Section (RCS) and broadband Magneto-Electric (ME) dipole patch antenna from 7.81 GHz to 13.65 GHz covering the whole X band is designed and fabricated. Metal patches printed on the substrate form the electric dipoles, three metallic vias connected to the radiation patches and the metal ground account for the magnetic dipole radiation. The whole antenna is connected with a T-shaped feed structure which excites electric and magnetic dipoles simultaneously. Numerical and experimental results incident that the RCS of the ME dipole patch antenna can be reduced in the whole bandwidth which the largest value is up to 17.9 dB by cutting slots on the ground and optimizing the size, shape, position of the slots. Also, the antenna shows advanced performances such as stable gain and almost consistent pattern in E and H plane.
