Abstract
An antenna array suitable for mounting at a selected height above a target plane, which provides for excellent resolution along a line in said plane extending through the vertical projection of the center of said array and perpendicular to a plane including said array. The array may comprise a plurality of radiators, each having a phase center along a support. The support is constrained to describe a segment of a circle in a vertical plane whose center lies on said line. As a result, the distance from any arbitrary point on the line in the target plane to any element of the array is equal.
