Abstract
A method for feeding antenna arrays is presented. Each element of the array is connected with transmission line sections. The first two sections are connected to a common point where the voltage from both sections is the same. The common point is connected with a new transmission line which is also doing the same with the third section. The procedure is continued until the last common point will be connected to a single source. A formulation for the antenna currents as a function of the frequency is also given. Some examples show the applicability of the method
