Abstract

This paper describes our contribution in the ANR project called GELOCOM (managed by the THALES Communications company), dedicated to the emergency localization of cellular phones. This contribution takes place in the field of antennas, with the development of broad-band systems: a circular array of six elements with separated outputs for the receiving part. In this paper, we present the design and the characterization of broad-band double ellipse array antenna. The antenna was studied with the software CST MWS.
