Abstract :
A new corrective term to complete the array factor for dielectric resonator antennas array is proposed. The term is derived on considerations based on the coupling of neighbouring elements and takes into account the true electric distance between the phase centres of the antennas. Results are compared with conventional array theory, previous work dealing with corrective terms and measures.
