Abstract :
This paper deals with the design of wideband planar antenna array of E-shaped patches with washer for indoor receiving of digital TV signal in C-band. The antenna array operates in the band from 4.4 to 5.0 GHz. The first part of the paper deals with the design of a single antenna element which has a very good impedance matching in the required band. Next, the single antenna element is arranged into a small array consisting of 2×2 patches. The simulated antenna array is fabricated, and measured results are compared with the simulated ones.
