Abstract :
Previous work demonstrating the successful beam scanning of a three-element array, with integral low bias strength ferrite phase shifters is extended to show significant improvement by implementing the structure as symmetrical stripline. The maximum beam scan angle is increased by 30% over that of the microstrip array
