Abstract
A phased array antenna element includes an antenna support and two longitudinally extending radiating leg elements supported by the antenna support and flared outward in a v-configuration from a vertex to antenna element tips. A resistive element is positioned on each radiating leg element and has a resistive value along the radiating leg elements from a low loss at the vertex to a high loss at the antenna element tips. The radiating leg elements are curved outward along their length and form a triangular configuration having a height that is about three times greater than the base.
