Abstract :
Densely packed dipoles and other densely packed structures have received much attention in conjunction with FSS structures. This paper investigates the performance of densely packed rhombic patches utilizing strong element-element coupling. Some examples are simulated and analyzed with a periodic boundary FDTD method.
