Abstract :
A novel array of a corner-cube reflector antenna targeting the 10.7-13.5-GHz frequency band is presented. The proposed antenna has the advantages of low-profile, broadband and high gain with linear polarisation. The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is employed effectively for feeding the antenna. The proposed antenna is formed of four corner-cube reflectors which are fed by SIW lines. The concept is validated by simulations and measurements.
