Abstract
A radiating element may comprise an antenna element, a radiating element edge, and a corrugation. The antenna element may have an aperture that extends into the antenna element, and an aperture side defining an aperture area of the antenna element. The radiating element edge may surround the antenna element on the aperture side. The corrugation may be configured to separate, at least on the aperture side, the antenna element and the surrounding radiating element edge. The radiating element edge may be connected to the antenna element at a distance greater than zero from the aperture side of the antenna element.

33. An antenna system comprising:
-
a plurality of radiating elements, each of the radiating elements comprising; an antenna element having an aperture that extends into the antenna element, wherein the antenna element has an aperture side defining an aperture area of the antenna element; a radiating element edge that surrounds the antenna element on the aperture side; and a corrugation configured to separate, at least on the aperture side, the antenna element and the surrounding radiating element edge, wherein the radiating element edge is connected to the antenna element at a distance greater than zero from the aperture side of the antenna element; and a microstrip network configured to feed signals to radiating elements, wherein neighboring single radiating elements have a shared edge. - View Dependent Claims (34)
