ABSTRACT: A novel multi-band end-fire antenna
array was designed, fabricated, and characterized. Analytical calculations were
carried out to determine the critical antenna dimensions and the design was
optimized using a 3D electromagnetic finite-element solver. The measured
results were in good agreement with the designed results. The proposed antenna
array exhibits multi-band capabilities which can be potentially used for
applications that require a multi-band end-fire radiation pattern.
