Abstract :
A modified printed bow-tie antenna is designed to simultaneously cover the operations in the C and X-bands from 5.5 to 12.5 GHz. The presented antenna has an end fire radiation pattern that makes it suitable for integration in single and dual polarized phased array systems. The antenna exhibits small size and wide bandwidth of 91%. The radiation characteristics are presented for a single element and a linear array of this antenna.
