Abstract
The paper presents results of analysis aimed to increase gain of planar PCB antenna arrays
through combining fewer complex arrays into bigger antenna systems.
Analysis starts from 256-antenna elements arrays and investigates various aspects of combining
few such antennas into bigger arrays - like number of antennas, topology,
efficient low loss microwave power transfer and combining, current distribution aspects etc.
Analysis shows that there is a room to increase gain of planar PCB antenna arrays
to levels above ~30dBi and proposed approach could be used to fulfill requirements for
nowadays demanding perimeter surveillance and security radar applications.
