Abstract
The design and development of a Ku-band linearly polarized 16 x 16 microstr ip-patch array is presented. The array is fed by a corporate network, using dog-bone shaped coupling apertures. Thin substrates and low-loss foam are used for antenna-bandwidth enhancement. The design of the radiating patches and feed network was aided by the commercial software package, Ensemble(R) . Experimental results for the array, in terms of its return loss, radiatio n pattern, and gain, are presented.
