Scattering by an infinite periodic array of microstrip elements
Abstract
An analysis of the scattering by an infinite periodic array of microstrip disks is made using a Galerkin solution of a vector integral equation. The solution is examined for convergence and compared with theory and experiment. The solution is used to minimize the loss and maximize the bandwidth of the element in a reflectarray configuration.
