Abstract
The disclosure relates to radio engineering, and more specifically to a wide scanning patch antenna array. The technical result consists in extending the scanning range of the antenna array, increasing its efficiency and reducing losses. An antenna array is provided. The antenna array includes a printed circuit board on which at least two patch antennas are located, each having at least one feeding port, wherein, the patch antennas are rotated relative to each other around the normal in the center of symmetry of the patch antenna in such a way that the corresponding feeding ports of the patch antennas related to the same polarization are rotated by 180 degrees relative to each other, wherein the phases of the signals applied to said feeding ports rotated relative to each other, differ by 180 degrees plus a phase shift for scanning control, a dielectric radome located above the printed circuit board, and passive beamforming elements of the array elements, located on the radome above the patch antennas.
