Abstract
The effect of the finite substrate size on the radiation characteristics of H-plane linear microstrip array antennas is investigated. The radiation characteristics versus scan angle are systematically analyzed for 5-element H-plane linear array antennas with various substrate sizes and element spacings for the substrates with different dielectric constants. The distance between the antenna center and the substrate edge on the E-plane for the enhancement of the radiation characteristics of the array antenna is presented.
