Abstract :
A six-element compact array of wideband printed bowtie antennas is designed for mobile spectrum monitoring applications covering 2-6 GHz. Each element in the array is designed to cover a 60° azimuth sector with minimal beam-width variation over the frequency band. Simulated beam patterns and return loss performance is provided.
