In this study we examined their bandwidths as regards compliance with pattern quality or input impedance requirements in the presence and absence of a backing ground plane. Placing a ground plane behind the antenna almost doubles sidelobe level bandwidth.engAntenna radiation patternsDipole antenna arraysLinear antenna arraysShaped beam antennasjournal articleopen access10.1109/TAP.2004.836394
