Abstract

A quasi-millimeter wave UWB array antenna has been presented in this paper. As a basic component of the proposed array antenna, a leaf-shaped bowtie element is adopted, and its fundamental characteristics are revealed with the FDTD results. 2-element quasi-millimeter wave UWB array antenna is composed of the leaf-shaped bowtie element, and its performances at the quasi-millimeter wave band of 22 to 29GHz is evaluated by the FDTD analysis measurements. Measured and simulated results validate the effective performance of the proposed configuration.
