Abstract

Using the penetrating area technique we have considered the solution of three-dimensional diffraction problem for an infinite plane phased array antenna consisting of rectangular waveguides with location in the form of a triangular mesh in the presence of plane-layered dielectric filling. The article presents the results, which confirm the correctness of the developed algorithm for electrodynamic calculation.
