Designing a dual-polarized octave bandwidth bowtie antenna for a linear array

Paper i proceeding, 2016

In this paper, we propose a linear array configuration for Random Line-of-Sight Over-The-Air testing set-up in anechoic chamber. For this aim, we use the self-grounded dual-polarized bowtie antenna as the element in the array. We present a new design of the bowtie to improve the array performance in terms of reflection coefficient and directivity. The new design has a simpler profile to manufacture. A good reflection coefficient performance has been achieved over the entire band of interest, i.e., 1.6-3GHz. The directivity of the array is almost constant for both polarizations over the entire frequency band.
