Abstract

A planar array of dipoles, with contiguous collinear dipole ends connected by a fixed inductor or capacitor, is evaluated. A Moment Method simulation of a 20 × 20 array provides Scan Element Pattern (gain per element), Scan Impedance, and current distributions. Cases considered, over a 10:1 bandwidth (dipole length .05λ to .5λ), include zero impedance coupling, capacitor coupling, inductor coupling, and Non‐Foster negative inductor coupling. The last is outstanding, probably because the physics of the Non‐Foster coupling makes sense.
