The radiation characteristics of small microstrip arrays is investigated including the mutual coupling effects among the array elements. The mutual coupling of the elements is determined using the reaction theorem, which provides both array patterns and the active Impedances of the elements. The method is then used to study a 19-element array for MSAT application. For the array elements circular patch microstrip antennas are used and optimized to give satisfactory circularly polarized radiation. For the 19-element array, it is shown that the array gain decreases by scanning the array beam towards the endfire direction and a peak gain of 13.73 dBi. is obtained at an elevation angle of 57 degrees. Further scanning of the beam, towards lower elevation angles, reduces the array gain further. |
