Design of a Planar Antenna Array with Wide Bandwidth and Narrow Beamwidth for IR-UWB Radar Applications

Van-Thang Nguyen and Jae-Young Chung    

Resumen

This paper presents the design of an H-band planar antenna array with broad bandwidth and narrow beam width for an IR-UWB radar application. The basic single wideband microstrip antenna is achieved by adding slots and the inset-fed technique. Then, we proposed a planar antenna array on a limited area that obtains an essential narrow beamwidth for the radar of a Non-Contact Human Vital Signs Detection application. The experimental and simulated results of the microstrip antenna array are in good agreement. The measured results show that the proposed antenna array exhibits a wide impedance bandwidth of 10.7% at around 7.5 GHz and a narrow beamwidth of 40 degrees vertically and 50 degrees horizontally, respectively.
