A low profile antenna array for Customer Premise Equipment applications

A low profile antenna array designed for Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) at 800 MHz is studied in this paper. The antenna array consists of two L-shaped monopole antennas and a feeding network. By properly designing the phase and amplitude of the feeding network, a horizonal radiation beam that parallel with the ground plane was obtained. This design shows great potential for the directional and omnidirectional radiation switching applications.
