Grid array antenna composed of V-shaped and rhombic elements for beam scanning

A grid array antenna composed of V-shaped and rhombic elements is proposed. It is found that the beam direction of the proposed antenna with 2α = 60° scans the range of θ = 3° to 31° as a function of frequency. The gain for this scanned beam is almost constant, at approximately 21 dBi.
