Abstract:

Generally, antennas are thought of in collecting audio, video, and data signals, which are processed and converted to intelligent data. However, using the same principle at higher frequencies, the antenna array will require expertise in the area of crystal growing vapor deposition, sputtering, sintering, etc. in micro circuitry and photo-lithography to make the antenna array and proper interconnections. The antenna configuration at lower microwave-range frequencies substantiated theoretical predictions of the antenna absorption theories with slight modifications.
