Design of Multimode Linear Array Antenna for the Interference Mitigation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a multimode linear array antenna to maximize the number of the array elements for the interference mitigation by integrating a loop patch and a monopole antenna. The loop patch and the monopole antennas had maximum gains of 5.2 dBi and 1.6 dBi in the upper hemisphere pattern. The nulling performances are observed to demonstrate the interference mitigation, and the results shows a pattern null width of 13 degrees and a null depth of 66.2 dB.
