A beam widening of the horizontal plane is achieved by the cavity aperture reduction and the inclusion of a metallic support between the cavity floor and the antenna reflector plane. The structure design procedure is exposed, and a reasonable agreement between simulations and measurements is obtained. Single antenna and medium gain array prototypes have been manufactured and tested. A 35\% reflection bandwidth and an 85{\textdegree} to 95{\textdegree} sector coverage is achieved in the desired operation band.}, issn = {0920-5071}, doi = {10.1163/156939310791586115}, url = {http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1163/156939310791586115}, author = {J L Masa-Campos and Rubio-Mayordomo, J M} }
