The full-wave analysis of microstrip phased array of combined printed radiators with adequate simulation of feeds

Abstract

Full-wave solution of electromagnetic problem about lumped excitation microstrip phased array with longitudinal printed radiators has been obtained. Novelty of the offered mathematical model consists in the adequate description of a stripline feeder influence on characteristics of the microstrip array. It is reached by full-wave modeling, as a microstrip radiator of the phased antenna array, as that part of a stripline feeder which directly adjoins to antenna element of an array.
