Abstract :
In this paper, a stacked MSA with different radii of circular patches is proposed for a linearly polarized RL-MSAA. Large radiation phase variation as well as wideband impedance matching is achieved by tuning radii of the upper and lower patches. A prototype RL-MSAA with three concentric rows of the stacked MSAs are designed and tested in 12 GHz.
