Abstract. Plane active phased antenna array with arbitrary aperture boundary is considered. A low fringe radiation beam forming method for active phased antenna arrays and a device implementing the abovementioned method are described. Simulation results demonstrate the approach efficiency.

Keywords: active phased antenna array, directivity pattern, arbitrary aperture boundary, equivalent flat aperture.
