Abstract
In order to to study the effect of random positioning errors in an infinite array an impedance analysis must be done. The authors present the first solution and data for the expected value of the input impedance of an infinite array of printed dipoles on a dielectric substrate. Theory is introduced, and results for several cases are presented and discussed. It is shown how scan blindness can be removed from an infinite array of printed dipoles by randomizing the positions of the elements in the E-plane and by analyzing the structure by an impedance approach.<>
