Abstract
Series fed arrays with feed at the centre element have been used as a natural tapered array for first sidelobe level (FSLL) reduction. The fact that all elements of the series fed arrays do not receive equal power has been used to realize natural tapering in these arrays. An analysis with respect to number of elements and size of the elements for the series fed arrays used is clearly brought about.
