Abstract

Modified batwing antenna element is a modified form of the conventional batwing array element used in broadcasting. The introduced design is based on the real shape of the wing bones, various trials have been carried out to get an approximate wing dimensions. The input characteristics and gain showed an enhanced response for the modified batwing to the conventional one with less dimensions. The method of moments is used to acquire all numerical analysis, the numerical electromagnetic code (NEC) is used to get numerical results. Radiation patterns for single, double, and quadruple element are shown for both antennas.
