A 16x8 Cavity Backed Patch Antenna Array for a Phased Array Radar

EasyChair Preprint 1656

Abstract

The proposed paper presents the design and development of a 16X8 Phased array antenna along with a Wilkinson based feeding network (A 128-way equal Power divider) for RADAR application based on a cavity backed patch antenna element. This has been implemented for an operation over the X-band, 8.6 GHz – 9.5 GHz with a scan range of ± 45⁰ in the H-Plane and ±30⁰ in the E-Plane. The simulated results show a return loss > 10 dB, 3 dB beamwidth of 12.1⁰X6.2⁰ in H-/E-planes with a gain of 26.4 dB over a bandwidth of ~10% in X-band.
