Abstract
A horizontally polarized antenna array having extended E-plane beam width, and a method for accomplishing beam width extension. In one embodiment of the invention, an antenna array is provided that comprises a driven dipole element mounted to a conductive means forming a ground plane, the driven dipole element having opposing arms, and a pair of collinear parasitic dipole elements disposed on opposite sides of the driven dipole element, the parasitic dipole elements having opposing arms inclined toward the ground plane such that the opposing arms of each parasitic dipole element are perpendicular to one another.
