Summary:
This paper describes a novel microstrip planar array of 8 elements operating in the C-band from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz and giving a gain of 17 dB. It can produce many types of polarizations such as E?, E? , right and left circular. In all these polarizations, the cross -polar level is around 20 dB lower than the co-polar level (except for E?, for which it is around 10 dB). It is constructed using parasitic patch and shorting pins. It gives wide bandwidth and multi-polarization due to parasitic patch and shorting pins respectively. The array is simulated using Agilent Technologies Advanced Design System (ADS) 2003A Momentum software.
