EM-waves dispersion by flat microstrip reflect array including combined radiators. Results of numerical research

On the basis of a method of integral equations a mathematical model of reflector antenna array from longitudinal and transversal microstrip radiators is built. Novelty of the offered mathematical model consists in the adequate description of influence of a stripline feeder on characteristics of the microstrip array. It is reached by the full-wave modeling of a microstrip radiator of the phased antenna array and a part of a stripline feeder which directly adjoins to the antenna element of an array.
