This paper proposes a compact multi-sector array structure based on bowtie antenna elements. The designed array consists of three (1×8) linear arrays to cover 360o. The array is designed to operate at 28 GHz on an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate to meet the high-frequency specifications with a thickness of 1.575 mm and a dielectric constant of 2.2, while the dissipation factor is (0.0009). Each array sector has a dimension of 30.17 mm as width and 6.4 mm as length. A beam steering performance is proved with the capability of switchable beams to offer directional/omnidirectional choices. Simulations results showed that the proposed array exhibits excellent reflection coefficient characteristics along with a high gain of up to 13.5 dBi and high radiation efficiency. Two configurations of array sectors are presented to introduce a flexible control of the array beams.

W artykule zaproponowano kompaktową, wielosektorową strukturę macierzy opartą na elementach antenowych typu bowtie. Zaprojektowana macierz składa się z trzech (1×8) liniowych szyków pokrywających 360o. Macierz jest zaprojektowana do pracy z częstotliwością 28 GHz na podłożu RT/Duroid 5880 w celu spełnienia specyfikacji wysokiej częstotliwości przy grubości 1,575 mm i stałej dielektrycznej 2,2 przy współczynniku rozproszenia (0,0009). Każdy sektor tablicy ma wymiar 30,17 mm szerokości i 6,4 mm długości. Skuteczność sterowania wiązką została udowodniona dzięki możliwości przełączania wiązek w celu oferowania wyborów kierunkowych/wszechkierunkowych. Wyniki symulacji wykazały, że proponowana matryca wykazuje doskonałe właściwości współczynnika odbicia wraz z wysokim wzmocnieniem do 13,5 dBi i wysoką wydajnością promieniowania. Przedstawiono dwie konfiguracje sektorów matrycy w celu wprowadzenia elastycznego sterowania wiązkami matrycy.
