Abstract
This article deals with the design of a broadband cavity-backed microstrip-fed
wide-slot antenna array for L-band applications. For verification purpose, a
sample 1 × 4-element antenna array has been designed, manufactured and
tested. Experimental results have shown satisfactory agreement with the simulation.
The proposed antenna array exhibits a measured impedance bandwidth
of 1.4 GHz (90%) with frequency of 0.85 to 2.25 GHz and the gain is higher
than 11 dBi. The designed antenna has small size and low weight and can be
fabricated using a low-cost fabrication process for easy integration with RF circuits
and microwave components. This work is useful for some radar applications
and radio frequency identification systems.
