Abstract :
In this paper, an array of closely spaced slot elements has been designed to provide good wide angle scan performance with large bandwidth. The results are stable for a wide range of scan angles and frequencies. The calculated return loss for the design is less than 10 dB for scan angles from 45deg 70deg and for a bandwidth of 40%
