Abstract :
A new element is described which is useful in array antennas. This element has a circular symmetric radiation pattern, controllable beamwidth, and exhibits extremely low mutual coupling between elements in the array. A modification of this antenna element results in a single antenna having equal E- and H-plane patterns, no side lobes and extremely low back radiation.
