            Abstract : 
An array of printed dipoles with a dielectric cover is analysed. The antenna currents are determined by solving an integral equation based on the exact Green´s function for the layered structure. An approximative method applicable to very large arrays is described. The parameters of an array consisting of five parallel radiation-supplied dipoles are determined.
