A low profile ultra-wideband tightly coupled dipole array is studied. The antenna elements are fed by Marchand baluns of small size and low cost. A metasurface based wide-angle impedance matching (MSWAIM) layer is introduced to replace the traditional dielectric WAIM, improving the beam scan performance and reducing the antenna profile. The simulation shows that the proposed antenna array can operate over 2.4-12.4 GHz, approximately 5:1 bandwidth with maximum scanning angle of 50o for both E plane and 45o for H plane. The antenna profile above the ground is only 0.578λH at the highest operating frequency. This antenna array can find its application in the forthcoming massive MIMO beamforming systems for 5G.
