Abstract :
An interactive package to analyze and design finite size microstrip antenna arrays is developed at the University of Mississippi. The material presented in this package is useful in designing an actual antenna array where the mutual coupling effects on the radiation patterns and the input impedance of the elements within the array environment are considered. Therefore, the package could be useful in senior design projects as well as to new antenna engineers.
