Phased array antenna suitable for a relay-aided WiMAX network

Description

No / In this study, a planar 4×4 phased array including modified E-shaped radiation elements is designed and fabricated to be incorporated in a Relay Station (RS) for realizing the communication with the super-ordinate Base Station. The proposed array provides 12.4% bandwidth at the 3.5GHz frequency band and gain of 21.2dB. Moreover a beamforming module is designed and simulated, aimed to be connected to the proposed array and realizing beamforming applications. This module provides 650 MHz bandwidth around 3.5GHz frequency band and is used for proper power division and controlling the amplitude/phase of the excitation currents.
