Abstract

The seemingly insatiable and growing demand for compact, multi-function, multi-frequency electronic systems for communications and other applications, is continuing to drive the search for devices offering more and more bandwidth. There is growing need for broadband high gain communication systems in the X band range of frequencies (8 12 GHz) for terrestrial broadband communications and networking as well as for radar applications. Similarly, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) and various other applications in the Ku band (10 14 GHz) such as radio astronomy service, space research service, mobile service, mobile satellite service, radio location service (radar), amateur radio service, and radio navigation may require embedded antenna systems at different bands. It would be ideal if efficient, broadband and cost effective planar microstrip based antenna and antenna array devices could be designed to provide coverage of all these bands. In addition systems aimed at UWB (Ultra Wide Band) operation need efficient very wideband antenna devices.
