Abstract :
An accurate microstrip coaxial feed model is introduced that is valid for substrates of arbitrary thickness. The Method of Moments is employed using basis functions on each of the patches of the array and on the coax feed probes. Special attachment modes are used at the coax/patch junction. Mutual coupling in small arrays is studied.
