## Abstract In this paper, microstrip patch arrays with both uniform phase and tapered distributions are analyzed __via__ the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) technique. The phase delay in the frequency domain is converted into a delay in the time domain when exciting the array. The far field p

Abstract
The design of microstrip reflect arrays requires the use of a design curve to correlate the phase of the reradiated field and the size of the elements. In this Letter this parameter has been evaluated by analyzing the field scattered from an isolated reflect‐array unit cell. As a test case a microstrip reflect array has been designed with the use of these data. Even if this approach neglects the mutual coupling effects, the measured reflect‐array radiation pattern shows that the main beam steering agrees with the design requirements. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract An equivalent unit cell waveguide approach (WGA) is described to study the behavior of a multilayer reflect array of variable‐size patches/dipoles. The approach considers normal incidence of a plane wave on an infinite periodic array of identical radiating elements and introduces an equ
## Abstract The determination of the phase of the field scattered from microstrip patches is a key factor in the design of reflect‐array antennas. Although the problem has been treated in a number of theoretical articles, an experimental characterization of a such an important parameter has never b
