Summary:
As the scale of an array antenna becomes larger, higher costs are demanded. This paper describes the experimental verification of the model method to simplify array antennas and to reduce the cost eventually. By replacing a part of fed elements to parasitic ones and adjusting the element arrangement, we can obtain almost the same characteristic as the fully-fed array antenna. We also describe the comparison between experiments and calculations.
