Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a microstrip antenna array fed by a meander dielectric image line. The feeding line is meandered so as to increase the beam steering angle for a fixed bandwidth. The measurement results for two different antenna arrays are illustrated and discussed. The designed center frequency is 10 GHz.
