Abstract :
A millimetric array is described which employs dielectric radiating elements excited by means of a dielectric waveguide. The design of the array is developed using the method of effective dielectric constants and a simple array theory. Measurements performed on a nonresonant prototype demonstrate its feasibility and its potential for frequency-scanning applications.
