Abstract :
A Green´s function-moment method analysis is used to investigate the radiation and scattering properties of infinite arrays of endfire slot antennas above a ground plane. The analysis utilizes the equivalence principle and a corresponding formulation which facilitates the extension of the analysis to antennas printed on protruding dielectric sheets and/or the addition of a radome. Numerical calculations are compared with waveguide simulator experiments for a linearly tapered slot antenna array as well as several less complex problems.<>
