Abstract :
An optimized design procedure of a beam-tilted linear polarization- radial line slot array antennas (LP-RLSA) was presented. The choice of tilt angle reveals to be crucial in achieving a uniform illumination of the whole array, as well as reaching the desired matched design. Optimization approach confirms its validity by means of a measured prototype.
