  • Abstract
    This paper presents a conical quad-mode antenna for irregular sparse antenna arrays. The antenna integrates tapered slot antennas with two orthogonal dipole antennas and a conical monopole element to achieve good polarimetric performance over an ultra-wide field-of-view coverage. It is shown that the presented antenna element is able to detect two orthogonal field components up to scan angles of 80° from zenith over a 50% relative bandwidth.
