Design of a 5 1 bandwidth stripline notch array from FDTD analysis.

A 5:1 bandwidth stripline notch array antenna is designed from parametric investigations of flare and feed dimensions. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to perform the parametric studies. Both linear and planar single-polarization arrays are considered with half-wavelength...
