Polarization purity is one of the most stringent requirements for future radio telescopes. To evaluate polarization ratio levels of large phased arrays involving thousands of elements, a full wave simulation approach is very time consuming, when feasible. Commonly, large arrays are approximated by infinite array approach or studied by single (isolated) element analysis. Being simplified approaches, part of the effect of the array configuration is missed resulting in analysis error. A study of this effect for regular arrays based on the intrinsic cross-polarization ratio (IXR) is presented.

Abstract
Polarization purity is one of the most stringent requirements for future radio telescopes. To evaluate polarization ratio levels of large phased arrays involving thousands of elements, a full wave simulation approach is very time consuming, when feasible. Commonly, large arrays are approximated by infinite array approach or studied by single (isolated) element analysis. Being simplified approaches, part of the effect of the array configuration is missed resulting in analysis error. A study of this effect for regular arrays based on the intrinsic cross-polarization ratio (IXR) is presented.File in questo prodotto:
