Abstract
An antenna array with modified compact feed has been designed with non-identical elements using cosine square amplitude distribution with the purpose of reducing the first side lobe level. The proposed feed network uses an overall area of 25.47% less than that of a similar array with conventional corporate feed network. Experimental results of this six element array validate the theoretical parameters.
