Abstract :
This paper presents a practical and efficient design for a microstrip array antenna with beam squint. Its essential method is using a special feed network. Then the amplitude distribution on the array´s aperture is tapered from the center to the ends, and the aperture phase is shifted from one end to the other. A microstrip array antenna with beam squint is developed, which shows that the design is correct.
