Abstract
A wide-band array antenna using a single real-valued multiplier for each antenna element is simple in construction and suitable for wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) mobile communication systems. A rectangular array antenna is formed by N×M antenna elements. Each antenna element has a frequency dependent gain which is the same for all elements. Each antenna element is connected to said single real-valued multiplier with a single real-valued coefficient, which is determined by properly selecting a number of points on a u-v plane defined for simplifying the design procedure according to the selected design algorithm.
