چکیده
The radiation field from a transmitting antenna is characterized by the complex Poynting vector E x H* in which E is the electric field and H is the magnetic field. Close to the antenna the Poynting vector is imaginary (reactive) and (E,H) decay more rapidly than 1/r, while further away it is real (radiating) and (E,H) decay as 1/r . These two types of fields dominate in different regions in space around the antenna. Based on this characterization of the Poynting vector, we can identify three major regions (Figure 1).

Development of A Compact and Low Profile Cavity Backed Slot Antenna Using Microstrip Gap Waveguide Technology
Proof of concept of a cavity backed slot antenna based on inverted microstrip gap waveguide (IMGW) technology is presented. Since the antenna is operating based on the first resonating mode of the cavity, it is more compact compared to the ordinary cavity backed slot antennas in which the second cavity mode is used for radiation. Furthermore, the proposed antenna element introduces lower lo...
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...
