Ultra Wideband Planar Microstrip Array Antennas for C-Band Aircraft Weather Radar Applications

Ultra Wideband Planar Microstrip Array Antennas for C-Band Aircraft Weather Radar Applications

A miniaturized ultra wideband (UWB) planar array antennas for C-band aircraft weather RADAR applications is presented. Firstly, the effect of the ground plane is studied. Later, the realization and experimental validation of the geometry that has an UWB characteristic are discussed. This array anten...
