Abstract
Design of broadband printed antennas, including the finite arrays of interacting patch, U‐strip, U‐slot, and meander slot antennas, are presented for applications in waveguide‐based spatial power combiners operating at X‐band. The effect of several antenna design parameters on antenna bandwidth performance is investigated in this paper. The antenna designs presented show significant advantages in their scattering characteristics compared to rectangular patch and slot antennas traditionally used in spatial power combiners. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
