Abstract
In this paper, we present the design and simulated results for a patch antenna array at 2.4 GHz. The antenna consists of one linear array with six series-fed patch antennas. In radar and smart-antenna applications it is very important to use antennas with high gain and low sidelobes in order to avoid the interference and to increase the gain of antenna array. The aim of this research is to design an antenna array that has suppressed sidelobes as much as possible in azimuth by using Kaiser-Bessel amplitude coefficients. Our designed antenna has a gain of 15.1 dB with an angular width of 14.6° at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. The measured 10 dB return loss bandwidth equals 18.7 MHz. Patch antenna array is analyzed using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO 2014.
