Abstract
Conformal load-bearing antenna structure (CLAS) combines the antenna into a composite structure such that it can carry the designed load while functioning as an antenna. In this paper, various types of our new 3D integrated microstrip antennas (3DIMAs) including the 3DIMA with microstrip feeding, coaxial feeding, the array antenna as well as the conformal antenna structure are introduced. They are designed to work at radar L-band and to be applied for the ubiquitous satellite navigation facilities in modern vehicles and airplanes. Different from the conventional CLAS, the radiating patch and the ground plane of 3 DIMA are both composed of woven conductive wires and are bonded into the 3D composite physically by the Z-yarns, greatly improved the damage tolerance of the antenna. The 3DIMAs present good electrical properties with the adequate return loss and radiation patterns. Specially, the bandwidth of the array antenna structure reaches as high as 10% and the conformal antenna reaches 6.47dB at the frequency of 1.7GHz.
