Pattern Correlation and Mismatch in Two-element Antenna Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an antenna array the element pattern correlation and the array matching depend on each other. For lossless two-element arrays the general formulation of the dependency of array matching on pattern correlation is given and solved numerically for some basic cases. Array matching is given as a characteristic mismatch coefficient and as the mean relative reflected power.

The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...
متن کاملPhase Only Synthesis of Antenna Patterns Using Iterative Restoration Methods
In this work, the method of iterative Fourier transform phase reconstruction, conventionally used in holography and optical image reconstruction, is applied to phase only synthesis of antenna patterns. The method is applied to two types of pattern synthesis problems: "main lobe beam shaping" and "side-lobe-level reduction". The proposed method is most useful in the efficient employment of attai...

متن کاملPhase-Only Synthesis of Antenna Arrays Using Nonuniform Phased Sampling Method
Nonuniform Phased Sampling method is proposed to phase-only synthesize the power pattern of both linear and planar antenna arrays. This method modifies the conventional sampling method which is used for amplitude-phase synthesis. This method is based on assigning suitable phases to the sampling points of radiation pattern in order to reach desired amplitude of currents. Some examples are given ...
