3 Conclusion

A two-element linear array in E-plane for C-band wireless application has been investigated. The proposed array consists of two hemispherical shapes of DRA excited with microstrip line underneath the DRA elements. The simulated result illustrates that the antenna resonates at 6.4 GHz and provide 6.25% impedance bandwidth. The offers peak gain of 9.3 dBi. It has a penalty of application for a higher number of antenna array elements.
