Abstract

A fundamentally different approach to broadband array design is introduced and validated with measured data. This design approach relies on mutual coupling to increase array bandwidth as opposed to the conventional approach of attempting to minimize coupling between array elements designed in isolation. The design leverages from multi-layer FSS design, resulting in a broadband, low profile, highly efficient, conformal array.
