i am designing array antenna. if the array elements are placed (patch) top and bottom for reduce the space. how to make the same phase to excite the top and bottom elements of the antenna.?
using delay line whose phase difference equals to the mechanical angle between two antennae,and phasing in +ve or -ve depends on direction of radiation
Built delay lines with pieces of transmission line, you can use microstrip technology . Please read the book of D.M. Pozar - Microwave Engineering. Read the chapters about transmission lines.
Either a micro strip line or coaxial cable line, it has its velocity factor. Using velocity factor, calculate length per electrical degree. Use line length from source to antenna feed point length L1 and L2 either physically equal, if it is not possible, use relation L1 = 2*n*pie*L2, where n is integer (choose n such that you have convenient length).
Let, you have selected L2 as convenient length, calculate L1 and vice varsa
