Abstract :
An analysis technique for a microstrip array is presented. The array elements and mutual coupling between elements are analyzed by a method of moments (MM) solution of the exact integral equation. The combination of the microstrip array elements, plus the microstrip transmission line feed network is analyzed using a generalized Thévenin theorem. The method is applied to the specific problem of the series fed microstrip array.
