In this paper, a microstrip array antenna capacitively coupled to a microstrip line is studied. The array antenna consists of uniformly spaced rectangular microstrip patches arranged close to a feeding microstrip line on a grounded dielectric substrate. The effects of various parameters, such as strip width and length, distance between adjacent patches, gap between strip patches and microstrip feed line, on the antenna performance were examined. By properly adjusting geometrical parameters, the array suitable for a high gain antenna for use in a frequency band centered at 12.5 GHz was designed.

In the information age, internet was developed from the wired access to the wireless Internet access. When a surge in demand for wireless Internet access, efficiency and performance of 2.4GHz band which leads to saturation of the communication was significantly fall. in this paper, the U-slot microstrip array antenna in the 5 GHz band have been studied to improve the drawback of a narrow bandwidth of the T-slot micro strip antenna. The characteristics of single antenna and array antenna was investigated to obtain the optimum frequency properties. The optimal U-slot microstrip array antenna possibility was confirmed.

In this paper, a technique for increasing the bandwidth of microstrip array antennas using the parallel coupled lines on a single layer is presented. Four types of wideband microstrip array antenna are designed and the characteristics of each type are analyzed. In addition, an iterative method using a distributed network is proposed to design the parallel coupled lines as a wideband impedance matching network. Measurements show that the proposed antennas provide wider bandwidths ∼1.7 times those of conventional microstirp array antennas, while the sizes of proposed antennal are the same as that of a conventional array. And low cross-polarization level can be obtained through symmetrical locations of the parallel coupled lines section

This paper presents a microstrip patch array antenna having transmission feed and reception feed for satellite communication in the Ku band. In this paper, the element of the patch array antenna is a three-stacked structure consisting of one radiation patch and two parasitic patches for high gain and wide bandwidth characteristics. To obtain higher gain, the unit elements are expanded into a $1{\times}8$ may using a mixture of series and parallel feeds. The proposed antenna has horizontal polarization for the Rx band and vertical polarization for the Tx band. To verify the practicality of this antenna, we fabricated a three-stacked patch array antenna and measured its performance. The gain of the array antenna in the Rx and Tx bands exceeds 17 and 18 dBi, respectively. The impedance bandwidth is over 10 % in both bands. The cross-polarization level is below -25 dB, and the sidelobe level is below -9.4 dB.

This study is concerned with a feeding method of microstrip patch antennas with different widths as feeding elements in order to obtain the appropriate radiation patterns of nonuniform array antennas. We analyze a microstrip patch antenna based on the transmission line model and derive that the ratio of current is equal to that of the input impedances of array antenna elements in case that the feed-line length between elements of array antenna is equal to the integer times of $\lambda_g$. We measure the radiation patterns of the nonuniform microstrip patch array antenna with 6 and 9 elements. The patterns measured are well agreed with the theoritically calculated patterns. Thus, this result can be utilized in the implementation of a feed network in nonuniform array antennas.

The paper presents a design of simple four-element microstrip-patch array antenna that is suitable for 5G applications. The proposed array consists of four rectangular microstrip patch elements with semicircular etches made on both sides of each elements. The antenna is fed using the combination of series and corporate feeding networks. The size of the ground is also changed to improve the antenna frequency. Finally, yagi elements are also added to improve the directive gain of the antenna. The presented microstrip patch array is able to achieve wide frequency bandwidth of 21.95-31.86 GHz. The antenna has also attained gain of 9.7 dB at 28 GHz and has maintained high gain and high directivity throughout the frequency band. The proposed array antenna fed by series-corporate feeding network, with low profile and simple structure is a good candidate for 5G applications.

In this paper, we studied the design and fabrication of $2{\times}2$ microstrip array antenna at around 5 GHz band.. To improve of frequency properties of antenna, feed microstrip patch antenna was simulated by HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). A $2{\times}2$ array antenna was designed and fabricated by photolithograph on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm). The fabricated $2{\times}2$ array antenna showed a center frequency, the minimum return loss and bandwidth were 5.3 GHz, -24dB, and 390MHz, respectively.
