Abstract :
A moment method analysis of infinite microstrip dipole arrays which uses an efficient technique to evaluate the generalised impedance matrix is described. A particularly simple formulation is obtained through the use of the periodic Green function. Results for the reflection coefficient magnitude against scan angle are given for a typical array.
