摘要

This study investigates the feasibility of using spatial power combination in small-scale array applications that require sector coverage. A patch antenna array is used to verify the concept. The simulated result of the proposed array shows that the -6 dB angle coverage is 132 degrees from 24 degrees to 156 degrees in elevation plane and the -10 dB return loss bandwidth is 4.6%. The optimized measured result indicates that the -6 dB angle coverage is 134 degrees from 20 degrees to 154 degrees in elevation plane.
