A full‐wave spectral domain model of a series‐fed, traveling‐wave aperture‐coupled patch array antenna is presented. This configuration allows for performance optimization by adjustment of the aperture size, aperture location, and patch size. The theory successfully predicts the input impedance and far‐field patterns of various C‐band configurations.
