The antenna which is fed using proximity coupling technique is intended to work at 1.27GHz for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) application. The array antenna is designed on 2 layers of FR4 epoxy dielectric substrates in which the thickness of each dielectric substrate is 0.8mm. It consists of five microstrip patches deployed on the top side of first layer of dielectric substrate. To show the potentiality in SLL suppression, an L-band array antenna with uniform power distribution is also characterized. From the result, it shows that the SLL of proposed array antenna is around 29dB at the frequency of 1.27GHz in which this is 14dB down from the SLL of array antenna with uniform power distribution. It proves that the array antenna designed by using binomial power distribution with Pascal coefficient is more effective for SAR application compared to the uniform power distribution.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Array antennas,Dielectric substrates,Microstrip patch,Power distributions,Proximity couplings,SAR applications,Side lobe level (SLL),Sidelobe levels[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Array antenna,binomial power distribution,side lobe level (SLL),synthetic aperture radar (SAR)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICWT.2017.8284128[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
