Abstract :
This paper presents the analysis of a large array antenna with circular waveguide elements. Analysis tools and methods to calculate mutual coupling for infinite and finite lattices are described and compared. The effect of the ground plane edge diffraction is treated in combination with mutual coupling. Theoretical results are compared to measured data.
