Pattern Synthesis for Planar Array Based on Elements Rotation

Aiming at improving the radiating characteristics (pattern and polarization) and simplifying the design of feeding network, a new approach is applied and discussed. For uniformly excited planar antenna array, by rotating each element in its local coordinates and determining the rotation angles of the elements, the 3D radiating characteristic of the planar antenna array can be improved. The Diff...

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

A Foothold Selection Algorithm for Spider Robot Locomotion in Planar Tunnel Environments

In this paper we present an algorithm, called the partitioned cubes gaiting (PCG) algorithm, for planning the foothold positions of spider-like robots in planar tunnels bounded by piecewise linear walls. The paper focuses on three-limb robots, but the algorithm generalizes to robots with a larger number of limbs. The input to the PCG algorithm is a geometric description of the tunnel, a lower b...
