A Wideband Printed Directional Antenna Array with Impedance Regulating Load

الملخص EN

We proposed a broadband directional antenna array working at mobile communication frequency band, which achieves a relative bandwidth of 50.7%.

This binary antenna array is fed by two branches of the balanced microstrip.

To enhance the antenna bandwidth, we introduced a section of loading metal strip.

The antenna prototype has a S 11 lower than −10 dB within the 1.5 GHz to 2.52 GHz frequency band, particularly from 2.01 GHz to 2.50 GHz, the S 11 is lower than −15 dB.

The gain varies with relatively small variation within the working band, which is 5.4 dBi to 8.7 dBi.
