Abstract
Matching and mutual coupling characteristics of the elements of a waveguide antenna array consisting of a finite number of aperture radiators with a finite flange are analyzed. The radiators are formed by semi-infinite cylindrical waveguides of an arbitrary cross section. The array radiates into a plane-layered medium. The solution procedure is based on the single-mode variational approach. Numerical results are presented for an array consisting of nine apertures of rectangular waveguides.
