	abstract = {A computer automated design methodology to synthesize a progressive wave array antenna is presented. The proposed method is based on the generalized-scattering matrix and spherical wave expansion analysis of the array. Mutual coupling effects between radiating elements are inherently considered in the design process. A linearly polarized 24-element irregular slotted array antenna at Ku-band is presented to describe the proposed computer automated design methodology. A prototype has been manufactured to experimentally validate the antenna performance. At the design frequency (17 GHz), 15.9 dB realized gain and 97\% efficiency (excluding aluminum losses) values are achieved. Although the array is designed at a single frequency, it shows an overall experimental 7\% usable bandwidth.},
