Abstract :
Design and development of antenna array for low frequency radio telescope has become one fascinating research in the field of Astronomy. In this research, optimization of two-element multiband antenna array for low-frequency transient radio telescope is presented. Narrow beamwidth down to 14 degrees has been achieved with maximum gain up to 12.31 dBi. The array is suitable to be used in a radio telescope system for solar and transient object monitoring.
