Abstract :
In this contribution a broadband biquad antenna array for DOA applications is investigated. Simulation and measurement results of the single broadband biquad antenna element and results of antenna array configurations for vertical polarisation, horizontal polarisation or polarisation independant direction of arrival estimation using different algorithms are shown.
