Title:
LOW MULTIPATH INTERFERENCE MICROSTRIP ARRAY AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002054529
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A microstrip array antenna (15) has rows of radiating elements (17) with the rows (16) phase shifted according to a phase distribution. The distribution is antisymmetrical and generally linear in magnitude over most of the array length, decreasing back to zero as the array edges are approached. The top and bottom rows are not phase shifted. The rows are phase shifted by lengthening the connecting lines to the radiating elements. Shifting the phase of the rows according to the phase distribution reduces only the lower, ground directed sidelobes of the antenna radiation pattern.
