Analysis of coupling between a curved FSS and an enclosed planar dipole array

Interaction between an antenna and an enclosing FSS is investigated using the Pocklington equation approach from an earlier study of arbitrarily curved free-standing arrays of dipoles. Part of such a collection of elements can be regarded as a receiving antenna, and the rest can be distributed around it to form a dichroic enclosure. It is then possible to analyse this structure with and without mutual coupling between the two sets of dipoles, to give an indication of antenna-radome coupling in a simple case.<
