Abstract
A planar magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna array is proposed and demonstrated by both full-wave analysis and experiments. The proposed structure leverages the operation of composite right/left-handed transmission lines under balanced conditions to form high-gain magnetic radiators, combined with radial conventional electric radiators, where the overall structure is excited by a single differential feed. The traveling-wave-type nature of the proposed ME-dipole antenna enables the formation of directive arrays with high-gain characteristics and scanning capability. Peak gains of 10.84 dB and 5.73 dB are demonstrated for the electric dipole and magnetic-dipole radiation components, respectively. © 1963-2012 IEEE.
