The design and fabrication of a 10.5 GHz microstrip patch array fed by a waveguide is presented. The gain of this antenna is 29 dB and its efficiency is 65%. Commonly, the efficiency of conventional microstrip arrays at X-band is not more than 50%. This antenna demonstrates the ability to accomplish

## Abstract A computerβaided design algorithm is developed to facilitate the design of Eβplane seriesβfed patch arrays. A rigorous moment method is used to compute the impedance of and the currents on each patch element in the array. Mutual coupling between adjacent patch elements is included in th
A low-cost, low side-lobe Ku-band array of microstrip antennas, which is fed by waveguide, is presented in this article. The 72 corner-fed square patches of the array are arranged in a 6-by-12 configuration. A novel waveguide to microstrip line transition with power divider is employed as a center f
## Abstract An equivalent unit cell waveguide approach (WGA) is described to study the behavior of a multilayer reflect array of variableβsize patches/dipoles. The approach considers normal incidence of a plane wave on an infinite periodic array of identical radiating elements and introduces an equ
