In this paper, a three‐element microstrip Yagi array is designed for operation at the X‐band. The driven patch of each microstrip Yagi element is fed using a dual‐offset aperture‐coupled feed to obtain circular polarization. Performance of the array when scanned electronically is investigated experimentally via measured field patterns. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
