Radiation Characteristics of Log-Periodic Cantor Dipole Antennas

A New Design of Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) Antenna

This paper presents a new approach for design of the log-periodic dipole array antenna (LPDA) based on using of different design parameters in the LPDA elements to control the antenna behavior. In the proposed procedure, the design parameters can control the value of forward gain over the operating frequency range, and also adjust the gain flatness. Furthermore, this design procedure can decrea...

Log-Periodic Loop Antennas

The Log-Periodic Loop Antenna with Ground Reflector (LPLA-GR) is investigated as a new type of antenna, which provides wide bandwidth, broad beamwidth, and high gain. This antenna has smaller transverse dimensions (by a factor of 2/π) than a log-periodic dipole antenna with comparable radiation characteristics. Several geometries with different parameters are analyzed numerically using ESP code...

Design Optimization of Log Periodic Dipole Antenna Using Genetic Algorithm

In this paper,design optimization of Log Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) has been carried out using Genetic Algorithm. The design objectives of this work is maximization of gain and minimization of VSWR.This has been achieved by variations in geometrical parameters of log periodic dipole antenna like maximum length, minimum length,spacing factor (σ). The simulation results have attained gain fro...
