The T-junctions with a power ratio of 2 : 1 were used to design the feed network. To correct the stepped discontinuity of impedance change in common multi-section impedance transformer, exponential line matching trans- formers were adopted in the WiMAX frequency band. The reflection coefficient was lower than - 15 dB from 5.08 GHz to 5.87 GHz. The measured gain of the antenna array achieved 29.8 dBi on E-plane at 5.8 GHz.展开更多
