Abstract
A phased array antenna is designed for scanning a narrow beam over an angular sector that is wide in one plane, and narrow in another, while using a minimum number of phase steering controls. High directivity elements occupy a rectangularly shaped area which is large in one direction relative to a second direction, the elements being staggered in position with neighboring elements to suppress near-in grating lobes. The elements are independent and identical to one another so that conventional array beamforming techniques may be utilized.
