Abstract :
A new approach to the design of modular wideband arrays has been proposed. The simulation results for several small array configurations indicate that a bandwidth enhancement may be possible that is greater than 2.5:1. In addition these arrays could also possess superior gain at lower frequencies. Further work related to measurements is currently in progress.
