Abstract :
A full wave spectral domain method of moment along with reciprocity theorem of infinite phased array of aperture coupled circular microstrip patch antennas is presented. Both the electric surface currents on the circular patches and the equivalent magnetic current on the apertures are considered. Results of reflection coefficient magnitude, active input impedance and active element gain are provided
