Abstract :
For lossless receive antennas, the power absorbed and delivered to a conjugate matched load can be obtained by computing a net power lost within a volume that includes the antenna. Maximum achievable received powers by different planar array configurations were analyzed. It was found that both a grounded dipole array, and an array of electric/magnetic dipole combinations, are capable of receiving all of the incident power.
