New Configurations of Low-Cost Dual-Polarized Printed Antennas for UWB Arrays

Figure 10

Array of 3 adjacent shielded cells as in Figure 2 at 5 GHz. (a) Only the input port 3 feeds the lower patches in the central cell. Magnitude of reflection coefficient (thick black line), of the coupling coefficient with a cable connected to the upper patch in the same cell (thick gray line), and of coupling coefficients with cables in an adjacent cell (thin black lines). (b) All the three lower sets of patches as fed in phase through port 3 (see Figure 2) and the respective translated ports in the other two cells. Magnitude of the active reflection coefficient versus frequencies at the middle cell of the array (black line) and at one side cell (gray line).
