Array with Groundplane and Two Dielectric Slabs

Finally, we show in Fig. 6.8 the scan impedance for 30°, 45°, and 60° in the H plane. Similarly, Fig. 6.9 shows the scan impedances in the E plane for the same scan angles. 

Note that the computed case has not been optimized for either bandwidth or scan compensation. This would be a good place to start. But please don t write a paper about it. It is simply left as an exercise for the students. 

And by the way Once you get this close to a good design, the winner among the various optimization programs is probably more a matter of coincidence than substance.
