Abstract :
The scattering characteristics of the planar array composed of impedance terminated dipoles are studied by finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The current distribution on the dipoles and the radar cross section (RCS) of the array are obtained and analyzed. It is seen that the array with inductance terminated dipole tends to give lower RCS. Results of this paper are in agreement with those obtained by moment method.
