Abstract

The CPW (coplanar waveguide) antenna element is shown to be an effective antenna element, whether used singly, as a two-element array, or as an eight-element array. It is also demonstrated that the finite-difference time-domain technique is a very effective diagnostic tool for designing array antennas. A very inexpensive technique for building phased-array antennas was developed. No evidence of the unwanted propagation mode was found.<>
