Abstract:The paper describes the theoretical analysis of the radiation characteristics of a finite array of rectangular horn apertures including the effects of mutual coupling. Results are presented for a square array of 25 elements demonstrating the importance of the mutual coupling effect. The effect on the radiation characteristics of using different array lattice geometries and the ability of the theory to predict blind spot angles in finite arrays is also shown. Experimental results confnmning the predictions are … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
