Abstract :
Planar antenna arrays of unequal dipoles in which all the input impedances of the elements are the same are proposed to simplify the matching networks or to improve the matching condition for broadside arrays. A method to design this type of array is described. The array produces a given radiation pattern. The elements are of different lengths and different radii
