Abstract
A phase array transmitting antenna system, including a plurality of radiating elements, each radiating element is capable of transmitting radiation. One or more constant phase and amplitude amplifiers are affixed to the radiating element in the array, wherein each radiating element is capable of producing radiation of a substantially uniform phase as the other radiating elements in the array, but distinct amplitudes according to patterns which simplify implementation.
