	abstract = {An analytical method to synthesize shaped-beam patterns with planar arrays, based on the handling of spherical waves, is proposed. Translational Addition Theorems will be used here for two different purposes: (1) relating the spherical modes produced by each element in the array to calculate the mutual coupling effects, and (2) expressing the field radiated by each element in terms of spherical modes corresponding to the whole array, to carry out a spherical-wave synthesis procedure based on the orthogonal properties of spherical modes. This field synthesis method is based on the fact that any antenna radiated field can be expressed as a discrete series of weighted spherical vector wave functions and it only requires the a priori knowledge of the Generalized Scattering Matrix of each array element considered as isolated from the rest of the array elements.},

	abstract = {The formulation of the generalized scattering matrix (GSM) of a finite array is revised to take into account the feeding network effects in the calculation of the external mutual coupling. It allows the analysis of finite arrays of externally coupled elements whose radiated field can be described by means of spherical waves on a ground plane, such as apertures, monopoles, cavity-backed patch antennas, or dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs), including rigorously the mismatching and internal coupling effects because of the feeding network.},
