PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA INTEGRATED WITH A FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACE: THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS

摘要

A modeling tool is described to characterize the array antennas integrated with Frequency Selective Surfaces by means of a Multimode Equivalent Network approach applied to infinite periodic structures. The theoretical formulation of the problem is presented in this paper together with the numerical results for an array of dielectric loaded waveguides integrated with a patch based FSS. Waveguide simulator measurements are also reported for comparison.
