Abstract. Boundary problem of parallel plate waveguide (PPW) excitation by an infinite array of metal strips with lumped sources is considered. The array operates in quasi-periodical regime. An effective analytical-numerical boundary problem solution and numerical algorithm on its base are proposed. Numerical results are discussed and compered with results obtained with help of High Frequency System Simulator (HFSS). Good agreement between HFSS numerical simulations and results of the proposed approach are demonstrated. It is shown that under some conditions array of lumped sources effectively excites PPW in ultra wide band (UWB) of operating frequencies.

Key words: parallel plate waveguide, lumped source, antenna array, quasi-periodical regime.
