In this paper, a method is presented for analyzing very large finite arrays of tapered‐slot antenna elements. The Toeplitz matrix property of regularly spaced arrays, combined with a parametrically truncated coupling radius, generates fixed matrix storage based on the coupling radius rather than array size, thus allowing very large problem analysis. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
