Abstract :
In order to realize wide-band and low side-lobe of both E- and H-plane scanning Active Phased Array Antenna (APAA) for Ka-band, a 8*8 micro-strip patch APAA with 0.5 wavelength element spacing is analyzed in this paper. The passive patches in the rim of the antenna array can greatly decrease the side-lobe of 6 dB. The APAA of 1*8 elements with +/-40 degree scanning were designed, measured and analyzed.
