A new travelling-wave antenna in microstrip
Abstract
The radiation characteristics of the first higher order mode on a microstrip line are investigated. As a result, a simple travelling-wave antenna element is described, having a larger bandwidth compared with resonator antennas. Methods to excite the first higher order mode are investigated. A single antenna element is treated theoretically and experimentally, and an array of four antenna elements is demonstrated.
