Abstract
The Floquet (periodic) theorem is implemented in finite difference time dom ain (FDTD) for the analysis of periodic phased array antennas. The array gr id of interest is considered to be generally skewed and this required a new procedure in the implementation of the Floquet theorem in FDTD. Numerical results for triangular antenna arrays are given to validate the proposed me thod of solution.
