Abstract
A dual-polarized radiator for a phased array antenna includes two planar microstrip notch elements that interlock and are perpendicular to each other having their phase centers coincident to provide advantageous operational characteristics when the elements are used to form a wide bandwidth, wide scan angle phased array antenna.
Claims18
A dual polarized radiator for a phased array antenna, said radiator comprising a first planar radiating element defining a first pair of notch antennas in a first plane and a second planar radiating element defining a second pair of notch antennas in a second plane oriented perpendicular to said first plane, said first and second radiating elements intersecting one another such that a phase center of said first radiating element coincides with a phase center of said second radiating element.
