Simulated 8x8 Ku-Band Array Antenna Performance on Airplane DoorAn 8x8, Ku-band antenna array composed of circular patches was simulated both on an infinite ground plane and mounted on an airplane door. The radiated far field was calculated for both cases to determine the effect of mounting the antenna on the side of the airplane. It was found that the main beam was relatively unaffected, while the sidelobes were increased by 15 to 20 dB at angles more than 30° off boresight..
