Abstract :
Two antenna arrays with maximum beam steerability are designed. A simple patch element is chosen for the array in PCB technology while a cavity-backed element is designed in MCM. Using these arrays, the interaction between the field radiated by the arrays and the RF front-end integrated with the arrays is investigated. The study shows that the cavity-backed configuration is more immune to the interference by a factor of two.
