Design and Simulation of C-Band Antenna for Portable Ground Surveillance Radar

Abstract

This paper describes the design and simulation of a C-Band microstrip array antennas for Portable Ground Surveillance Radar. The design parameters for the antenna: minimum gain, horizontal beamwidth vertical beamwidth, horizontal polarization, and physical dimension. The simulation results showed that the required parameters had been achieved. The antenna’s realized gain is 21.66 dBi with horizontal beamwidth 2.8 degrees, vertical beamwidth 7.5 degrees, and horizontal polarization with physical dimensions 38 cm × 16.2 cm.
