Abstract
In this paper, a conformal type $1{\times}4$ microstrip patch array antenna with tilted antenna beam is presented for UWB sensor applications. Each antenna element comprises E-shaped patch with L-probe feeding to increase the bandwidth. The tilted antenna beam of 20 degree can be achieved with 42 ps microstrip delay lines at the series feeding network with T-junctions. The measured reflection coefficient is >9 dB at 3.5~4.5 GHz. The measured antenna gain and HPBW are >10 dBi and <30 degree at 3.75~4.25 GHz.
