A simple model that accounts for inter-element mutual coupling is presented which explains the false polarization leakage in Stokes Q (“false Q”) seen when the array is scanned away from zenith in the principal planes. On these planes the model predicts current imbalance in the X (E-W) and Y (N-S) dipoles and hence the false Q. More sophisticated models intended to calibrate actual observation data will be briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128491267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that these MTSs may exhibit an inductive or capacitive reactance depending on the connection status of the patch vertexes. A simple analytical model is derived to predict the dispersion curve of the supported surface waves (SWs). Furthermore, it is shown that connecting or disconnecting the metal patches along a given path allows for a confinement of the SWs on such a path. This property opens the possibility of realizing reconfigurable transmission lines by controlling the status of patch connections through miniaturized switches.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124129022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
