Abstract :
This paper presents the performance of 4Ã4 array tapered microstrip feed network and quarter-wavelength transformer feed network at KU-Band. The paper shows the comparison of S11 and VSWR parameters between two feed networks at 15 GHz. ADS2008 simulation software was used to present the useful results on both the networks at 15 GHz.
