Abstract

This paper presents a discrete domain analysis for plane wave scattering from passive microstrip array of patches at arbitrary incidence over a wide frequency band. The analysis shows the effect of the patch size on the resonance of the scattered higher modes of the structure. The dips in the reflection coefficient characteristic curves at different angles of incidence correlate the level of these modes. The effect of the grating lobes onset on the reflection characteristics is also depicted.
