Abstract :
A novel antenna array for LMDS applications is presented. It is a coplanar cellular-distributing microstrip antenna array and is made up of six-element subarrays. Each rectangular microstrip patch of the subarray is fed via a corporate-feed network, and each feed network of the subarray is accomplished by a coaxial probe through the ground plane. The new antenna may be an alternative for LMDS applications. Simulated results are given and compared with those arrays operating at the same band.
