Abstract
An array antenna is shown, the disclosed antenna having an effective cross-sectional area which is lower than its physical cross-sectional area. The reduction in effective cross-sectional area is effected by: (a) fabricating the reflector for the array antenna from spaced wires; and, (b) curving the entire array and its reflector.
