摘要
In this paper, microstrip patch arrays with both uniform phase and tapered distributions are analysed via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The phase delay at the,frequency domain is converted into a delay in the time domain when exciting the array. The Jar field pattern of the array is calculated from its aperture distribution, in a plane located just above the, array, A PMC plane has been employed to reduce the problem to half its size, by invoking the symmetry of the problem, The results are found to be in good agreement with those derived by using the method of moments (MoM).
