Abstract
An array of monopoles antenna over a ground plane that radiates a directive lobe in the end-fire direction is described in this paper. The design uses the rigorous method described in [1] in order to synthesis the radiation though the strong cumulative coupling between the monopoles. A gain higher than 20 dB was achieved in the end-fire direction over a 4.5% bandwidth.
