Abstract
This paper describes the Design of Broadside 8-Elements Microstrip Antenna Array at Ka-Band using corporate feed. Array is designed for the Broadband applications for 32 GHz to 36 GHz (4 GHz Bandwidth). The Gain of the Antenn a Array is 18 dBi and the 3-dB Beamwidth in E - & H - Plane is 18 degree an d 27 degree respectively with minimum sidelobe level of 15 dBc. Antenna tes t results show a close agreement between the designed and measured values. The Antenna Array has been printed on 10 mil RT-Duriod (epsilon(r) = 2.22) substrate.
