Abstract
In this novel geometry, the 3D radiator unit cell has been designed with flat sided unit cells. Each 3D radiator unit cell incorporates a curf border of sacrificial material. This border permits independent sub-array size and shape. It also allows a gap between sub-arrays while retaining contiguous unit cell spacing giving flexibility to array size, shape and line replaceable unit capabilities.
