Abstract
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.
