6. Printed antennas
6.1 General
Printed arrays are being used more and more, because they are lightweight, cost-effective when mass-produced, and take up little space. They can be found in satellite TV reception antennas, in telecommunications applications, in small portable radars, in satellite ground observation antennas or, finally, as antennas incorporated into the structure of aircraft or missiles.
They can be used as sub-arrays for complex antennas or form the complete antenna.
In this field, imagination knows no bounds, so we'll confine ourselves to a few examples, taking the case of dual-polarization antennas (the monopolarization antenna is deduced by simplification).
