Infinite Phased Array of Microstrip Dipoles in Two Layers
Abstract
A method has been devised for the analysis of the infinite printed strip dipole array in a two layer microstrip substrate structure. The complete dynamic Green's function appropriate to the two-layer substrate-superstrate structure was used in the formulation of the method of moments solution. In this way all the substrate effects, including the surface wave related phenomena, have been included in the development and solution. The solution provides a means by which the most important performance characteristics of the finite-but-large phase-scanned microstrip array can be studied. Attention has been focused on the characterization of the active input impedance as a function of the equivalent scan angle.
