Abstract :
The field distribution between strips in a periodic array of parallel strips was modeled. The electric field integral equation (EFIE) together with method of moments (MoM) was employed to solve the problem. The incident plane wave was assumed to be transverse electric (TE). The effect of the incident angle on the field between strips was investigated. For comparison, an array of the same configuration but containing a finite number of parallel strips was also modeled using the EFIE and solved via MoM. Good agreement was found even when the number of strips was small. The results are of interest for mobile radio
