Abstract :
This paper describes the realization of a relatively large shaped beam radiation pattern with a small linear array of E.M.C dipoles . The current distribution of the excitation has been chosen by the SCHELKUNOFF´s method [1] extended to symmetrical radiation pattern . Wide band microstrip power divider and phase shifters have been used to adjust the current distribution .
