Expansion of Dipole Phased Array Bandwidth by Passive Planar Elements

Abstract

The results of modeling of infinite dipole phased antenna array (PAA) over conducting plane with passive planar elements are presented. It shows frequency dependences of the reflection coeffi-cients in feeders and dynamic characteristics of the gain for the finite PAA that are based on infinite model. Perspective in terms of bandwidth expanding variants of geometry are considered.
