- Abstract
- We propose a novel 4 X 4 Hadamard matrix feed network for a 4 X 1 array antenna to form a dual beam. If each element of the array Is excited following the elements In a row of the Hadamard matrix, a two-lobed antenna beam can be obtained. The angle between the two lobes can be controlled by selecting the appropriate row (if the matrix. The Hadamard matrix feed network consists of four 90 degrees hybrids, one crossover, and four phase shifters. The array antenna, including the Hadamard matrix feed network, was fabricated on a microstip structure. The measured beam directions of the two lobes are 0 degrees, +/- 15 degrees, +/- 33 degrees, and +/- 45 degrees depending on the choice of the input port of the feed network.
