Abstract
This work presents an antenna array design for monitoring oil spills on ocean surface operating within X-band. Its feed system comprises coupling slots and metallic coupling tuning ridges designed to individually control the signal amplitude of each antenna module and form the squared cosecant profile. The tuning ridges introduce two degrees of freedom to control the amplitude in each module. Phase is individually controlled by capacitive or inductive irises.
