Abstract :
A low profile egg-crate array with wide-band printed flared dipole ("bunny-ear") elements was developed for dual-pol applications. A small test array of 9/spl times/9 elements was built and tested in a 1-5 GHz experiment. Gain and scan element patterns in E-, H-, and diagonal cuts were measured. Excellent results including low cross-pol were observed.
