Abstract :
A simple equation is derived relating the reflection coefficients of the edge elements and the center elements of a two-dimensional antenna array. Calculated values of the coupling and reflection coefficients are presented for TEM-mode parallel-plate horn arrays. These are compared to published values for arrays with ground planes.
