Abstract :
The effects of a finitely sized reflecting plane on the radiation patterns and on the input impedances of linear low sidelobe arrays of parallel dipoles are analysed. The differences between arrays with a finite reflector and those with an infinite one are studied and the design criteria are discussed.
