The proposed\r\ntechnique has been used in the design of Linear Grooved Microstrip\r\npatch antenna array. The characteristics of the antenna are\r\ndetermined in terms of Return loss, VSWR, gain, radiation pattern\r\netc. The measured and simulated results presented are found to be in\r\ngood agreement.","references":"[1] Rodney B Waterhouse, \"Microstrip Patch Antennas, A Designers\r\nGuide\".\r\n[2] N.U.
