Abstract :
Three techniques using partial skew are developed in this paper. They do not lead to the same degree of smoothing of the patterns of circular arrays as the 90 °skew, but they present the advantage of being less sensitive to the presence of the supporting structure. They also provide a large flexibility in the choice of dimensions and feeding systems of such antennas.
