Abstract :
For the analysis of an infinite periodic array of single-layer rectangular microstrip patches, an empirical expression is formulated for approximating the TE-to-z reflection coefficient phase with the incident angle. The accuracy of the results from this empirical formulation are verified with those computed through the full wave analysis
