Planar dipole antenna for radar application

A planar antenna for radar application is presented in the paper. The radiating structure is a dipole of elliptical arms. It has been designed by means of CST MWS 2013 as a single radiation source for application in an array. The antenna consists of dipole radiator, feeding structure and conducting block which is a part of transceiver operating in C-band. Reflection coefficient of the antenna is below -15 dB in the desired 8% band, radiation pattern is characterised by wide main beam with reduced backward radiation.
