Abstract :
A broadband (13%) microstrip array antenna with high efficiency, low cost and low weight has been designed and evaluated. The antenna is foam supported and is about 
thick. The feeding is accomplished by a separate microstrip network. This antenna is compared with two dielectric loaded microstrip antennas, one with a separate stripline feed network and one with an integrated microstrip network. The foam supported antenna is preferred because of lower cost and better electrical performance.
