The antenna element was designed to operate in the frequency range between 12 GHz and 18.25 GHz, with a 41.3% fractional bandwidth (FBW) and an obtained peak gain equal to 10.2 dBi. The planar array, characterized by a feed network with a flexible 1 to 16 power divider, comprised 4 \u00d7 4 antenna elements and generated a pattern with a peak gain of 19.1 dBi at 15.5 GHz. An antenna array prototype was fabricated, and the measurements showed good agreement with the numerical simulations as the manufactured antenna operated in the range of 11.4\u201317 GHz, with a 39.4% FBW, and the peak gain at 15.5 GHz was 18.7 dBi. The high-temperature simulated and experimental results, performed in a temperature chamber, demonstrated that the array performance was stable in a wide temperature range, from \u221250 \u00b0C to 150 \u00b0C.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23083821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T07:24:18Z","timestamp":1681111458000},"page":"3821","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Design of Wideband High-Gain Patch Antenna Array for High-Temperature Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ruibo","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Rocca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"DICAM\u2014Department of Civil, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering, Trento University, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]},{"given":"Aar\u00f3n \u00c1ngel","family":"Salas S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DICAM\u2014Department of Civil, Environmental, and Mechanical Engineering, Trento University, 38123 Trento, Italy"}]},{"given":"Liwei","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Xinghua","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Wanye","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Zijiao","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electronic Equipment Structure Design, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nagy, L.
