The influence of corrugated structures on the interaction of antenna arrays
Abstract
It has been noted that corrugated structures can reduce the cross coupling of antenna arrays. The effect of such structures on the interaction of antenna arrays is studied on the assumption of the periodic excitation of an infinite packet of semiinfinite planar waveguides. It is shown that corrugated reactive structures have a higher decoupling efficiency than structures consisting of load-matched waveguides. The corrugated structure has only an insignificant effect on the radiation patterns of aperture antennas.
