The basic topology is a series of transverse dipoles coupled electromagnetically to a microstrip line. After modeling each element with a numerical technique (MoM), this array is modeled with an equivalent circuit in CAD software. This method is shown to be reliable and can interface easily with commercially available software, which allows global simulation and optimizes the design. This versatility is demonstrated with a realization example: A six‐dipole active array at 10 GHz showing a 27.5‐dBi gain. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
