Gain enhancement and side lobe level reduction of array LTCC antenna for radar application / Mohd Hisyamuddin Mat Yusoof

Gain enhancement and side lobe level reduction of array LTCC antenna for radar application / Mohd Hisyamuddin Mat Yusoof

A 2x2 Array Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) Antenna with Metal Ring operating at 9.41GHz for Radar Application is presents in this paper. Metal ring has been used integrated with aperture coupled feeding method and rectangular patch radiating element to enhance the antenna performance. LTCC...
