Abstract :
A cross-mesh (CM) array antenna (AA) is decomposed into two grid array antennas, each corresponding to a Kraus (1988) grid array antenna. This paper presents two CM-AAs: one is for a dual linearly polarized (LP) wave and the other for a dual circularly polarized (CP) wave. The radiation characteristics are evaluated on the basis of the current distribution. The frequency responses of the gain and axial ratio an presented and discussed.
