Design of 2 by 2 planar array antenna using aperture coupler technique / Hafiza Alias

This thesis presents a design of 2 by 2 planar array microstrip antenna with an aperture coupler technique. The purpose of using non-contacting feed to the antenna is to reduce the unwanted signal from the feedline. Signal from feedline has to be terminated as it can interfere with the signals radia...
