Abstract
The effect of the substrate structure modification on the E-plane scanning performance in large microstrip arrays is studied with the aid of a two-dimensional model. The goal is to alleviate scan blindness effects. The finite-element method of lines is used to solve the electromagnetic equations, thus demonstrating its applicability to open, periodic structures.Keywords
