Abstract

A system having a radiating element is disclosed. The radiating element may include a plurality of higher order floquet mode scattering (HOFS) layers including at least a lowest layer unit cell, a middle layer unit cell, and a highest layer unit cell. The radiating element may also include a stripline feed layer having a ground plane layer. The ground plane layer is configured in at least one of a non-equilateral triangular grid unit cell or an equilateral triangular grid., one or more horizontal and vertical polarization stripline feeds, one or more horizontal and vertical polarization ground plane slots, and one or more ground vias to create an evanescent waveguide for resonance free stripline to radiating element coupling. The radiating element may be dual-polarized aperture coupled with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) in a manner so as to enable the AESA to electronically steer a beam of radio waves to point in different directions without moving the AESA and radiate beams of radio waves at multiple frequencies simultaneously.
