Double-Layer High-Gain Microstrip Array Antenna

Page 1033.

Abstract:

Novel double-layer microstrip array antennas are introduced for high-gain applications. In the proposed antennas, the complex and lossy feed network is not needed. Rather the double structure provides the field distribution at the aperture for the beam-focusing effect. A relatively simple design method based on a cavity model is presented.
