Abstract
Sector antenna arrays and methods of use that provide high main-lobe gain and high side-lobe rejection over a wide range of operating frequencies are provided herein. The example sector antennas provide these outstanding performance and reliability features due to (1) a cross-section profile for the ground plane, (2) a corporate feed for the linear array of patch antennas, and (3) an optimized sub-assembly of parasitic elements for high bandwidth operation with low return-loss.
