Abstract :
The bandwidths of three aperture stacked patch antennas have been combined successfully into a single large bandwidth using microwave photonic techniques. The antenna system produces an effective frequency bandwidth of approximately 150% with an average gain level of 5.5 dBi and gain variation of plusmn2 dB.
