Abstract. Plane active phased
antenna array with arbitrary aperture boundary is considered. A low fringe
radiation beam forming method for active phased antenna arrays and a device
implementing the abovementioned method are described. Simulation results
demonstrate the approach efficiency.
Keywords: active phased antenna
array, directivity pattern, arbitrary aperture boundary, equivalent flat
aperture.
