Abstract

This work proposes the integration of an electromagnetic analysis of a finite array through infinite array results and an array beampattern synthesis methodology from linear programming. The periodic radiating elements are characterized from a full wave and modular procedure based on domain decomposition, 3D-FEM, modal analysis and matrix formulation. The technique takes into account real radiating patterns of antennas with complex geometry and the mutual coupling between the array elements.
