OCTAVE BAND STACKED MICROSTRIP PATCH PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA

摘要

The present disclosure relates to microstrip antenna designs and more particularly to stacked patch antenna designs capable of achieving wide operational scan angles (e.g. scan-capable to 55 degrees or greater) which operate over an octave or greater frequency bandwidth. Such stacked patch antenna designs find use in a wide range of applications including, but not limited to, space-based systems and airborne systems (e.g. space-based and airborne radar systems and communication systems which utilize array antennas).
