REFLECTION OF PLANE WAVE FROM AN INFINITE MICROSTRIP ARRAY

Tomáš Farkaš

   A solution is presented for the problem of the incidence and reflection of a plane wave from an infinite microstrip array for various directions of incidence. A full-wave treatment of the electric current surface density excited on the array patches is accomplished using the moment method in the spectral domain. As a result, the phase and absolute value of reflection coefficients for various polarizations are calculated.
