A full‐wave spectral domain model of a series‐fed, traveling‐wave aperture‐coupled patch array antenna is presented. This configuration allows for performance optimization by adjustment of the aperture size, aperture location, and patch size. The theory successfully predicts the input impedance and far‐field patterns of various C‐band configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
