Conventional rectangular planar arrays with fully filled elements are practically very complicated especially for large arrays. They usually occupy a large space. Thus, any reduction in the space and the number of the array elements is highly desirable in many applications. In this paper, the authors present a novel technique for obtaining a performance similar to that of the conventional rectangular planar antenna using two orthogonal crossed arrays with a smaller number of elements. The proposed technique consists of redesigning the amplitude element excitations of only two crossed arrays using either deterministic or optimization algorithms. Simulation results are shown to prove the proposed idea.
