Abstract :
A general infinite array analysis and related software code, UNIFY, have been developed for printed phased array antennas composed of arbitrary multilayer geometries. The analysis is described, and a few examples are presented: a microstrip dipole coupled to an inclined covered microstrip feed line, an aperture coupled microstrip antenna with radome, and a dual aperture coupled microstrip antenna for circular polarization.<>
