dc.description.abstractThis article proposes a simple and low profile planar Goubau line based end-fire antenna. End-fire radiation is achieved by modifying the Goubau line into inverted periodic arrangement of V-shaped unit cells. Designed prototype is simulated and verified experimentally. Both the simulated and measured results are in good agreement. Proposed antenna radiates toward end-fire direction between 7.8 and 8.3 GHz. The maximum gain of the antenna is obtained around 7.2 dBi. The average efficiency is observed 70% over the entire operating bandwidth. Proposed end-fire antenna has a single metallic layer with simple configuration which is easy to fabricate and also easy to integrate with other electronics circuits. The proposed antenna can be used for satellite and RADAR applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
