Abstract :
A five by five element array designed to operate at S-band was built and tested. The author reviews the array and diagnostic system designs, describes a few modifications of the diagnostic system and the addition of a radiating aperture using microstrip patch elements, and presents some of the results of an antenna range assessment of the fully assembled array.
