Design of Wideband Printed Antenna Array in Corner Reflector with Cosecant Square-Shaped Beam Pattern
The paper presents a wideband printed antenna array with a cosecant square-shaped beam pattern. The array is with four symmetrical pentagonal dipoles as radiating elements operating at the second resonance. The apex of the corner reflector is at a distance λ0/2 from antenna array.

| Summary: | The paper presents a wideband printed antenna array with a cosecant square-shaped beam pattern. The array is with four symmetrical pentagonal dipoles as radiating elements operating at the second resonance. The apex of the corner reflector is at a distance λ0/2 from antenna array. Orchard Elliott’s methods and genetic algorithm are used for synthesizing the proposed antenna. A symmetrical tapered feed network of impedance transformers enables a required distribution. Simulated and measured results show that proposed antenna model has a 15 dBi gain and side lobe suppression around 20 dB in E-plane at the frequency of 10 GHz. |
