Continuous transverse stub (CTS) array antenna

A CTS array antenna is designed and analyzed in this paper. By using multi-stage impedance transformer in radiating element and feed network to improve radiation efficiency and reduce the height compared with other forms of parallel-fed CTS array antenna. And a fine gain and a low side lobe are obtained. For its potential characteristics, the proposed CTS antenna can be applied in wireless communication systems at millimetre-waves.
