Abstract :
A new technique for the FDTD analysis of periodic infinite phased arrays is presented. Periodic boundary conditions are implemented which reduce the computational volume to that of a single unit cell. The technique applies to pulse scanning in oblique directions and is performed by continuously moving the unit cell in the scan plane
