This invention relates to a radiating elementfor use in array antennas. The radiating elementis of simplified design and comprises a front regionand a rearward regionthat are preferably substantially rectangular, which permit higher frequency limits than more conventional Vivaldi elements while maintaining the lower frequency limit. Additionally, by deployment of an array of a plurality of such elementssuch that no gaps are formed between adjacent elementsalong the array antenna, very wide bandwidth can be obtained using the array.
