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.}, keywords = {Array antenna, computer automated design, generalized scattering matrix, slot, spherical wave expansion}, issn = {1536-1225}, doi = {10.1109/LAWP.2016.2517928}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=\&arnumber=7381600}, author = {J C{\'o}rcoles and P Sanchez-Olivares and J Rubio and J L Masa-Campos and J.

The mutual coupling effects between slots have been considered in the proposed methodology. Therefore, it is possible to remove the typical compensation step in the design process. The computing costs of the whole antenna optimization process is significantly reduced using the proposed method compared to the commercial full-wave simulation tools. An antenna prototype has been manufactured in order to experimentally validate the antenna performance. A realized gain and efficiency values of 15.9 dB and 97\% have been measured at the design frequency (17 GHz), respectively.}, author = {J C{\'o}rcoles and P Sanchez-Olivares and J Rubio and J L Masa-Campos and J.
