Abstract

In this paper, a miniaturized, high directivity low-cost antenna array is presented. The uniqueness of the proposed array (PA) exists in the feed mechanism designed using Dolph-Chebyshev non-uniform excitations. Authors simulated the designed antenna array using ANSYS EM 18.2 (HFSS) software and characterization is carried out in a fully established anechoic chamber. The simulated array antenna is operating at 2.4 GHz with a gain of 8.12 dB and a reflection coefficient of -28.45 dB having a bandwidth of 110 MHz. On contrast with the traditional array (TA), PA exhibits enhanced resonance characteristics by maintaining the same radiation characteristics. The bandwidth is increased by 37.5%, maintaining the same gain of 8.12 dB. In contrast, there is a remarkable reduction in the size compared to the traditional corporate feed array antenna with non-uniform excitation. The overall size of the PA antenna is 242.5 mm × 58.8 mm, which is 33.73% less compared to the TA.
