Abstract

In this paper, the method of moments is employed to analyze planar and linear finite phased arrays of radiating slots fed by rectangular waveguides and open-end rectangular waveguides. The equivalent magnetic currents and active patterns due to these elements in phased arrays are discussed in detail. The relationship between linear and planar arrays was also analyzed.
