Investigations on Printed Antenna Arrays using Advanced Feeding Techniques for Wireless Applications

Abstract

quotThe rapid growth of wireless communication technology and growth newlinesignificance of wireless applications require single band, multiband, newlinewideband and low profile antennas to serve satellite, Radar and newlinemilitary communication systems. The modern wireless applications newlinelike WLAN (2.4-2.48GHz), Wi-Fi (2.4-2.49GHz), LTE (2.5-2.69GHz), newlineUMTS (2.0-2.30GHz), Wimax (2.30-3.70GHz), FSS (13.75-14.0GHz), Cband newline(4-8GHz), military communication X-band (8-12GHz) and newlinesatellite communication needs multiband, single band or wideband newlineantennas with a good value of gain. A printed microstrip patch newlineantenna is an attractive source with its features like simple, low newlineprofile, conformal and rigid for mounting on any platform. Considering newlinethese features, this type of antennas has drawn the attention of many newlineantenna engineers to exhibit single band, multiband and good gain newlinecharacteristics.quot newline newline
