Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a 16-element array antenna design to improve signal detection performances. The array antenna characteristics, such as mutual coupling, pattern deviation, and half power beamwidth of the active element, were examined to obtain an optimal spacing between individual elements. The single element of the array antenna consists of an indirect feed using L-shaped feed and shorted radiating patch to achieve a broadband operation. Root mean square(RMS) errors based on the incident angle of the signal were calculated to verify the signal detection performance of the proposed antenna. The results demonstrate that the proposed array antenna with optimal spacing is suitable for detecting interference signals with low RMS error.
