Abstract :
This paper presents an equivalent overlapping array structure with optimized sub-array pattern in planar arrays. Compared to the conventional overlapping sub-array structure, the feed network of this proposed structure is easier to realize in practical systems and the sub-array pattern may be optimized resulting in a lower side lobe level.
