1-D Wide-Angle Beam Scanning Linear Phased Array With Enhanced Gain by Using 3D Printed Dielectric Slab Superstrate

A 1-D wide-angle beam-scanning linear phased array with enhanced gain by using dielectric slab superstrate (DSS) is presented. In this scenario, the beams of array elements in the scanning plane should be wide enough and that in the orthogonal plane should be as narrow as possible. Different from the existing DSS technology, the DSS in this letter is used to satisfy the requirements of the beams i...
