Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm and implementation for an automatated design of feeding networks for arbitrary sized rectangular antenna arrays with a single feed. The algorithm is able to cope with arbitrary amplitude weighting of the single antenna elements. For verification of the algorithm, a 4×4 array is designed and presented.
