Analysis of the Periodic Microstrip Phased Array Antenna

주기적 마이크로스트립 위상 배열의 특성 해석

This paper presents calculated results for the infinite phased arrays of the probe-fed rectagualr microstrip patches. A numerical model that is based on a rigorous Green's function and galerkin solutionsis is described. In an arbitrary scan plane, the input impedance and the input reflection coefficient versus the scand angle are calculated. The effects of substrate parameters on the phased arry antenna are considered. The scan blindness phenomenon due to the surface wave is observed and the input impedance bandwidth in the arbitrary scan plane is calculated.
