Design of Arbitrarily Shaped Planar Microstrip Antenna Arrays with Improved Efficiency

A design technique is described for an arbitrarily shaped planar microstrip antenna array with improved radiation efficiency. In order to fully utilize the limited antenna aperture, several basic modules are proposed from which we construct the array. A consideration of the aperture shape shows that...
