Abstract
An antenna array that includes a plurality of antenna elements and a method of forming an antenna array. The antenna array includes an antenna baseplate on which the plurality of antenna elements are arranged in a regular grid, and a dielectric wide angle impedance match (WAIM) layer structured and arranged in front of the antenna elements to match impedance for large skew angles. The WAIM layer includes a monolithic material layer from which spacers are machined in a regular grid that corresponds to the grid of the antenna elements.
