Abstract :
This paper documents the analysis and design of a patch antenna array system. The primary analysis technique is the FDTD technique in conjunction with the CPML absorbing boundary condition. A thorough set of measurements were also achieved for the array with good agreement demonstrated. These data and results demonstrate the value of simulation technologies in modem array design.
