Abstract

For long-range communication, the directivity and gain of a millimeter wave antenna should be high. The aim of the paper is to design an antenna array that works at higher frequencies X/Ku-band (8-12 GHz)/(12-18 GHz) respectively for applications such as RADAR. This can be achieved by an array of antennas as single antenna cannot provide such high gain and directivity. The radiation pattern has directional pencil beam in which the frequency and gain plot is shown at 11.32 GHz. The maximum gain of 29.0994 dB has been achieved at 11.32 GHz frequency. The software High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) has been used for simulation, and the simulated and measured results are found in agreement with each other
