A Novel Compact Microstrip Antenna for UAV's Real Time Applications Using Millimeter-Waves Band

In this paper, a novel millimeter-wave microstrip antenna array is presented. Designed to improve the communication link of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in terms of streaming video applications, the proposed 2×4 compact array has a size of 21.89 mm x 10.63 mm. Operating in the band 52–62 GHz with a return loss of -31.59 dB, a maximum gain of 14.3 dBi and a beamwidth of ± 15°, it can be implemented in a MIMO system.
