Abstract
Microstrip phased array antennas obtained by the association of two in terdigitated biperiodic coplanar subarrays are presented. One of these two subarrays is fed, and the other is parasitic. This type of array is studied for rectangular or triangular patches, using an infinite ph ased array model for the theoretical approach [1]-[5]. Frequency bandw idth obtained with this geometry is larger than that of conventional m onolayer microstrip antennas.
