Summary:
Here we deal, for simplicity, with linear arrays of H-plane coupled elements, and two kinds of elements will be discussed: an element composed of 3 rectangular microstrip patches fed by a 1:3 microstrip divider, and a wire element composed of 1:2 upper divider and two arms. The advantages of the last element are that no substrates are contained, and that the nulls of the element can easily be controlled by adjusting the distance between its arms.
