Rectangular array of four elements of microstrip circular patches modeled on LiTiZn ferrite substrate is presented. Here we have considered LiTiZn ferrite as a substrate which has been synthesized by the solid state reaction technique (SSRT). In this paper we present a comparison of radiation pattern and other parameters when the antenna array is biased perpendicularly with varying magnetic field. The array antenna using LiTiZn with magnetic biasing, reports a reduction of radiation of side-lobes with increased directivity with better radiation power response.

Abstract


Rectangular array of four elements of microstrip circular patches modeled on LiTiZn ferrite substrate is presented. Here we have considered LiTiZn ferrite as a substrate which has been synthesized by the solid state reaction technique (SSRT). In this paper we present a comparison of radiation pattern and other parameters when the antenna array is biased perpendicularly with varying magnetic field. The array antenna using LiTiZn with magnetic biasing, reports a reduction of radiation of side-lobes with increased directivity with better radiation power response.
