Abstract
An antenna includes a substrate having a first surface with a ground plane disposed thereover and having a second surface with a first plurality of strip conductors disposed along a first longitudinal axis thereof. A feed circuit has a first port coupled to an input port of the antenna and a plurality of second ports, each of which is coupled to one of the first plurality of strip conductors. A radome has a first surface disposed over and spaced a predetermined distance from the second surface of the substrate. A second plurality of strip conductors are disposed on the first surface of the radome above corresponding ones of the first plurality of strip conductors on the second surface of the substrate.
