Ku-Band Microstrip Patch Array Antenna

SAM-1431430695-SF-L1-8C is a linearly polarized, 1 x 8, 14 GHz microstrip patch antenna. The antenna implements eight individual antenna ports so that beamforming can be achieved via various input signal definitions. The individual patch antenna has a gain of 6 dBi and a typical vertical beamwidth of 50 degrees and horizontal beamwidth of 95 degrees respectively. The combined gain and beamwidth of the array are 15 dBi and 8 degrees when the array is fed with equal amplitude and phase signals. The antenna is constructed with a high performance, low loss soft microwave substrate to achieve the best performance in the class. The RF interface is eight SMA (F) coaxial connectors. Other interfaces such as K (F) connectors, are offered under various model numbers.
