Abstract :
Triangular lattice arrays fed uniformly are found similar in their radiation characteristics to linear tapered arrays. In addition, they direct most of their energy in the forward direction with relatively low side-lobe level. The maximum nominal directivity is in general higher numerically than the total number of elements in the array. A universal amplitude contour map is found capable of handling both right and oblique triangular lattice arrays.
