Abstract

A new class of antenna is presented. It consists of an interdigital capacitor in parallel with a straight strip inductor. The proposed antenna is fed through a new corporate feed network. The configurations designed, fabricated, and measured include 8 × 1 and 8 × 2. Each resonator is fed at the non-radiating end with a view to achieving higher gain and better performance. The performance profile of the array antenna, including the reflection coefficient and radiation patterns, is investigated and presented. Reasonable measured gains of 12.8 and 16.9 dBi are obtained for 8 × 1 and 8 × 2 configurations, respectively. The size of each element of the array is 5.8 × 5.6 mm2, which makes it a potential candidate for wireless communication applications.
