Abstract

A phased array antenna (10) includes a current sheet array (20) on a substrate (23), at least one dielectric layer (24) between the current sheet array and a ground plane (30), and at least one conductive plane (25) adjacent to the substrate for providing additional coupling between adjacent dipole antenna elements of the current sheet array.
