Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 5, 153-160, 2008
Abstract
A novel feed network for microstrip antenna array is presented. By using the novel feeding structure, a high-performance Ku-band antenna is designed and fabricated. The 32 elements of the array are arranged in a 2-by-16 configuration. The measured peak gain at centre frequency is 22.93 dBi with an aperture efficiency of 70.5%. The antenna has less than -15 dB return loss and less than -12.3 dB SLL from 11.75 GHz-12.75 GHz.
