Abstract

The microstrip patch antenna is commonly used for its small size and low cost of fabrication, but its narrow bandwidth makes it inappropriate for broadband applications, thus array of microstrip patch antenna which depends upon on log periodic techniques is used for making broadband antenna. Such kind of antenna posses the wideband characteristic in comparison with the microstrip antenna. In the present paper a broadband antenna is designed using the log periodic microstrip patch array in HFSS 10. Here Peak directivity is achieved as 4.4 to 7.5 in the range of 13.9 to 30 Ghz.The return loss is obtained as below -10db within the range of 13 to 30 Ghz.Hence broadband characteristics is achieved.
