Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for evaluating performance of a finite or infinite antenna array including a finite number of antennas. Typically, a model is generated for the antenna array, the model including an arbitrarily large antenna array with an arbitrarily large number of model antennas. Each model antenna has features defined by features of antennas of the finite or infinite antenna array. A unit cell is determined for the arbitrarily large antenna, and impedance matrices Zand Zare computed, Zrepresenting interactions among the unit cell and the other model antennas. From these matrices, the performance of the finite or infinite antenna array is assessed.
