Design and analysis of microstrip antenna array in E & H plane for high gain applications

Abstract

Linear patch arrays can be very useful where space is the matter of concern in one direction. Like planar array, linear arrays are also capable of providing high gain and directivity with beam scanning. The paper focuses on air borne applications. Proposed linear array are suitable due to its conformability and meeting the constraint of space for such applications. The design presented in this paper proposes to increase the gain and as well as bandwidth by keeping acceptable values of VSWR and return loss.
