“…Several designs have recently been made to suppress the sidelobe level (SLL) in the printed antenna arrays [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. A new aperture is proposed in [10] microstrip antenna array.…”

“…A 6.5% wideband is obtained, but the SLL and the acquired gain remain poor at −20 dB and 14.2 dBi, respectively. Lower SLLs are dealt with and obtained in [13,14]. The optimized distribution coefficients through the differential evolution algorithm have been used to achieve a wideband and a lower SLL in the slot antenna with a series-fed network in [13].…”

In this study, a compact series-fed center-fed open-stub (SFCFOS) linear array antenna for K-band applications is presented. The antenna is composed of a single-line 10-element linear array. A symmetrical Chebyshev amplitude distribution (CAD) is used to obtain a low sidelobe characteristic against a uniform amplitude distribution (UAD). The amplitude is controlled by varying the width of the microstrip patch elements, and open-ended stubs are arranged next to the last antenna element to use the energy of the radiating signal more effectively. We insert a series-fed stub between two patches and obtain a low mutual coupling for a 4.28-mm center-to-center spacing (0.7λ at 21 GHz). A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and tested. The overall size of the uniform linear array is 7.04 × 1.05 × 0.0563 λg 3 and that of the Chebyshev linear array is 9.92 × 1.48 × 0.0793 λ g 3 . The UAD array yields a |S11| < -10 dB bandwidth of 1. 33% (20.912-21.192 GHz) and 1. 45% (20.89-21.196 GHz) for the CAD. The uniform array design gives a −23 dB return loss, and the Chebyshev array achieves a −30.68 dB return loss at the center frequency with gains of 15.3 dBi and 17 dBi, respectively. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.

“…In addition to exhibiting low profile and light weight like microstrip antennas with canonical geometry, they are also compact longitudinally and present low cross-polarization level in H-plane [1]. These characteristics make the microstrip magnetic dipoles good candidates for use in printed Yagi antennas and aperiodic linear arrays [2], since such radiators often require both a closer distance between some of their radiating elements and low cross-polarization in both principal planes. In particular, printed Yagi antennas composed of microstrip magnetic dipoles have been extensively discussed in the literature over the last few years [3]- [8] similarly to the design presentation of aperiodic linear arrays of microstrip magnetic dipoles in [9].…”

“…In addition, a and b are dimensioned to have the equivalent cavity operating with one quarter-sine variation in x-axis and one half-sine variation in y-axis. The coaxial probe is, in turn, positioned on the patch midline, i.e., yf = 0; consequently, even-order terms of the sums in (1), (2), and (4) vanish and the aforementioned sine variations are excited.…”

In this letter, the design and fabrication of the linear microstrip array antenna by series fed are presented. The array antenna consists of 16 reflector slotstrip-foam-inverted patch (RSSFIP) antennas. The gain and efficiency of the linear array antenna is 16.6 dBi and 61% at 10 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a bandwidth (BW) of 45% from 8.1 to 12.8 GHz (S 11 < −10 dB) and side lobe level (SLL) of −25.6 dB across the BW of 19.2% from 9.4 to 10.4 GHz. These are achieved by using a microstrip series fed with defected ground structure (DGS) to feed the patch array antenna. Good agreement is achieved between measurement and simulation results.
