Abstract
Unequally spaced arrays technique offers an alternative for limited sidelobe level reduction compared to conventional array antennas with equally spaced elements. In this paper, the abilities and design of microstrip linear array antenna, fed by multiport feeding with uniform excitation coefficient in all array elements are presented for sidelobe level reduction at 28 GHz. By using the proximity coupled feed, simulation result gave -10 dB impedance bandwidth of 1.42 GHz and reflection coefficient of -35.5 dB has been achieved. The sidelobe level at broadside decreased from -11.77 dB to -14.76 dB (N = 4) and -12.77 dB to -15.98 dB (N = 8) with unequally spaced array. This feature is suitable for 5G applications.
