  • Abstract
    This paper presents preliminary results of a Dense Dipole Array (DDA) design. The array consists of tightly coupled dipole elements above a ground plane and fed differentially through a specially designed common-mode suppressing feed. Measurements of a 4 × 4 prototype indicate an impedance bandwidth of ≈ 2:5 : 1.
