A planar antenna array for linearly polarized waves is proposed which offers a technique of improving the radiation pattern of the antenna by compensating for amplitude and phase imbalance due to coupling between adjacent lines in the feed network. This imbalance causes the radiation patterns to be severely distorted. The proposed configuration uses slots offset in certain parts of the array and then bonds the slots to an aperture/waveguide layer and produces an antenna with good gain, good match over a wide frequency band and good cross polar discrimination as well as providing an improvement in the overall radiation pattern of the antenna.
