Biomimetic antenna array using non-foster network to enhance directional sensitivity over broad frequency band

Published in:
IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag., Vol. 64, No. 10, October 2016, pp. 4297-4305.

Summary

Biologically inspired antenna arrays that mimic the hearing mechanism of insects are called biomimetic antenna arrays (BMAAs). They are attractive for microwave applications, such as compact direction finding systems. Earlier, the BMAAs were designed for narrow frequency band phase enhancement, whereas we now propose to design them for use with a non-Foster coupling network (NFC). As the NFCs are not restricted by gain bandwidth product, their incorporation in the design can provide wideband phase enhancement. A method for designing BMAA, using a non-Foster coupling network (NFC-BMAA), and also for obtaining system stability, is presented. Simulated and measured results of the fabricated structure are also presented and discussed.
