Abstract
Ellipsoidal array antennas that include repeated, modular unit cells are disclosed. The ellipsoidal array antennas may be wide band array antennas with bandwidths exceeding one octave that are capable of handling high radio frequency (RF) power with high polarization purity and low-cost manufacturing for arrays with high element counts. The number of unit cells is given by (Element_Rows+1)*Element_Columns for single polarized arrays. For dual polarized arrays, the number of unit cells is given by (Element_Rows+1)*(Element_Columns+1).
