The article presents some results of wideband printed phased antenna array element development for C-band. The array has a regular 2D skew-angle lattice. The element design exploits a double-resonant printed patch radiator fabricated on a dielectric substrate with a cavity in a metallic base. It has been shown that the chosen structure is simultaneously characterized by a reduced level of elements mutual coupling and possesses a wideband input matching performance during a sectorial beam steering. Some results of the finite array fragment experimental study have been demonstrated.
