Description

This paper presents a novel wideband microstrip comb-line linear array antenna using end feeding developed in the millimeter-wave. The proposed antenna is designed for 28 GHz and has 12 elements. The reflection-canceling slit structure technique is adopted to develop a broadside beam with low reflections at the input. The proposed array is designed using stub-studded radiating elements that create more resonances to broaden the impedance bandwidth. The structure is a novel comb-line linear array antenna with stub-studded radiating elements and was developed by applying stubs to eight of the radiating elements of the array to increase the input impedance bandwidth. This helps to attain a wideband linear array antenna on a single dielectric substrate, which conventionally has a narrow bandwidth. The input impedance bandwidth is from 23.5 to 33.11 GHz, which is equivalent to a bandwidth of 33.95 …
