Abstract
This paper presents the axial ratio beamwidth results obtained by diff erent sequentially rotated microstrip patch antenna sub-array configur ations. Simplified formulae of electrical radiation pattern allow a di rect polarization estimation. To validate these formulae, a comparison with a rigorous calculation code using the Finite Difference Time Dom ain method (F.D.T.D.), through same cases simulated, gives good agreem ent. Finally, excitation errors introduced in simple analytical expres sions are taken into account for two particular sub-arrays.
