Microstrip Antenna Array Design for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Detection Radar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This work presents the design and realization of four linear arrays of microstrip rectangular patch antennas. This linear array is one of the elements of a passive radar using signals from 4G base stations for UAV detection. The arrays have been validated and operate from 2.62 GHz to 2.69 GHz, with a HPBW of 82° in H-plane and a maximal gain going from 11.1 dB to 12.2 dB in the required bandwidth, with a cosecant squared pattern in the E-plane.
