Planar, Faceted and Curved Array Antenna Research at TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory
conference paper
An overview is presented of research carried out at TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory in the field of phased anay antennas. Started is with a brief historical overview and a presentation of the antenna measurement facilities. Then full wave analysis methods for infinite planar waveguide arrays are discussed and ways to use these methods for analysing finite arrays. A design approach for microstrip patch array antennas, employing reduced analysis methods and commercially available full wave software is discussed next, followed by a presentation of analysis techniques for faceted and curved array antennas, together with the first reduced analysis results.
