Abstract:

A computer program is given to implement the equations derived in Technical Report TR-78-7, Mutual Coupling in a Finite Planar Rectangular Waveguide Antenna Array. The aperture dimensions can be less than or equal to the feeding waveguide dimensions. Three specific uniformly spaced array lattices are considered - linear, rectangular, and isosceles triangular. For the linear and rectangular lattice cases, the Toeplitz symmetry property of the admittance matrix is utilized to save storage space and computation time. The program consists of a main program and several subroutines which calculate both the half-space admittance and scattering matrices. The computer program is described and listed, along with sample input-output data. Author
