A fan-beam linear array antenna employing a non-parasitic grounded reflector, a new Coplanar Waveguide (CPW)-fed network, and Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (GCPW) radiation elements is presented. This fan-beam antenna is achieved using a four-element conventional non-planar monopole integrated with CPW line, which is perpendicularly connected to CPW feed network. In addition, the grounded reflector is vertically connected to the ground part of CPW feed network. These three main parts together produce a fan-beam antenna that can satisfy beneficial input impedance, radiation patterns, and gain bandwidth requirements in the frequency range 3.2–3.66 GHz. This array covers applications of 3.3 and 3.5 GHz WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) operating bands. Also, combining a non-planar GCPW monopole antenna as an array with a non-parasitic grounded reflector and CPW feed network provides designers with an advantageous fan-beam pattern to be generated. In addition, the reflector height is reduced to half by the concept of image theory. As a consequence, the spatial dimension of the antenna will be reduced. Therefore, this combination results in a cheap, lightweight, and easy installing non-planar printed array antenna at high frequency bands. Comparisons are made between results obtained with and without a reflector array antenna. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
