Abstract

A rectangular loop antenna for S-band radar is proposed. The proposed loop antenna is the modified type of folded monopole antenna. The feeding line is coplanar stripline with $180^{\circ}$ phase difference for operating in odd mode. The proposed antenna showed return loss of -15.57dB at the center frequency and bandwidth of about 790MHz (> 25%) under the condition of VSWR < 2. The gains of single, 1x2, and 1x4 array loop antennas are 4.3, 7.0, and 10.2dBi, respectively.
