Super-Wide Impedance Bandwidth Planar Antenna for Microwave and Millimetre-Wave Applications
  The feasibility study of a novel configuration for a super-wide impedance planar antenna is presented based on a 2×2 microstrip patch antenna (MPA) using CST Microwave Studio. The antenna comprises a symmetrical arrangement of four-square patches that are interconnected to each other with cross-shaped high impedance microstrip lines. The antenna array is exciting through a single feedline connected to one of the patches. The proposed antenna array configuration overcomes the main drawback of conventional MPA of narrow bandwidth that is typically < 5%. The antenna exhibits a super-wide frequency bandwidth from 20 GHz to 120 GHz for S11
