Abstract :
An electromagnetic modeling procedure for a CPW-based spatial power combining array with folded-slot antennas is presented. The concept of a direct extraction of the network parameters from the method of moment matrix is explained. Calculations of the network parameters of a unit cell and an array are presented.
