Abstract
A radiating element for a radar array antenna comprising a ground plane, a first electrically conductive disk arranged at a first distance from and generally parallel to the ground plane, and a second electrically conductive disk arranged at a second distance from and generally parallel to the ground plane. An electrically conductive element extends along a central axis of the radiating element and conductively couples the ground plane, the first electrically conductive disk and the second electrically conductive disk. The radiating element further includes a first wing defining a first surface opposing the electrically conductive element that is arranged at a first distance from the central axis, and a second surface opposing the electrically conductive element that is arranged at a second distance, different from the first distance, from the central axis.
