Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of S parameters and beam patterns of an array of Vivaldi antennas used in a cryogenically cooled phased array feeds for radio astronomical application. The low-noise cryogenic front-end operates across the 4-8 GHz band and can simultaneously forms four independent beams. Signals from the dual-polarized Vivaldi antenna array are combined by an analogue beam former located inside the cryostat. The vacuum window consists of a dome-shaped structure made of Plexiglas. We report on results of investigation of mutual coupling between the antenna elements and how the dome affects S parameter and beam pattern.
