The work presented in this paper proposes the design of single Inset-fed antenna and antennas array with corporate feed network based on accurate modified transmission line model. The model developed is simple, accurate and takes into account all the characteristics of the antenna array and their feed system. To test this proposed model, the results obtained are compared with those obtained by the moment’s method (Agilent Momentum). The paper confirms the validity of the developed model by presenting several simulation results. The results obtained are then exposed and discussed.
