Abstract

This paper describes the design of a 12-monopole linear array to perform a radiation pattern in the array alignment plane. This antenna can be used for HyperLAN2 telecommunications in transit vehicles. The design is based on a rigorous method which synthesizes the feeds weights by considering the strong cumulative coupling between monopoles. The originality of this paper consists in considering the couplings to obtain the objective pattern. Without this approach, a significant performance alteration is observed. The array and the feed network have been designed and successfully measured.
