Summary:
In a two-layer self-diplexing antenna fed at two ports, theoretical analysis has already shown that the isolation characteristics can be improved by adjusting the angle between the feed locations of the transmitting and receiving antennas. In this letter, we experimentally investigate the isolation characteristics of the self-diplexing array antenna. First, calculated and experimental results for each feed location of the element antenna are compared and good agreement is found. Second, experimental results with a 19-element planar array indicate that a self-diplexing antenna with suitably chosen feed configuration is effective in improving the isolation in a phased array antenna.
