Abstract
A novel application of a microstrip array is presented. Although microstrip arrays are often made on mechanically flexible substrates for conformal applications, this approach uses such flexibility to achieve cosecant-squared beam shaping. The antenna developed is the shovel-microstrip array antenna.<>
