Selection of Ideal Feed profile for Asymptotic Conical Dipole Fed Impulse Radiating Antenna

چکیده
Abstract— Equivalent charge method is used to design ultra wide band asymptotic conical dipole (ACD) antenna. Combination of linear charge density and point charges is used to generate different profiles for ACD antennas. Two different profiles of ACD antenna are used as a feed for reflector based impulse-radiating antennas (IRAs). This paper focuses on the selection of ideal ACD profile as well as the requisite charge distribution for ACD antenna as a feed to design 100Ω input impedance reflector IRA. An ideal Configuration of ACD feeding structure for reflector IRA is chosen based on FDTD analysis results. To validate the utility of the proposed new feed an ACD-fed half IRA is realized with input impedance of nearly 50 Ω. Measurements are carried out using single-ended instrumentation without any impedance adaptor as commonly done with Conventional IRAs.

Improved Feed Design for Enhance Performance of Reflector Based Impulse Radiating Antennas
Conventional reflector based Impulse Radiating Antennas (IRA’s) are designed with conical taper transmission line feed. A novel feed design approach is used to enhance gain of the IRA without increasing diameter of the reflector. This paper discus conventional and new IRA designs of different input impedances. IRA with conventional feed and with new dipole feed is designed for both 200 Ω and 10...
متن کاملPrepulse Associated with the TEM Feed of an Impulse Radiating Antenna
The field radiated fit)m an impulse radiating antenna (HL4) utilizing a reflector and driver by a step-function source consists of three distinct parts. First, there is a prepulse, which looks ikc a step function, and lasts for a time equal to twice the electrical length of the feed. Following this comes the actual impulse-like waveform. Finally, there is a small tail that appears after the imp...

In In this paper, two low profile, single fed cavity backed slot antennas providing a circularly polarized (CP) wave are introduced. One of the antennas presents a right-handed CP (RHCP) wave, while the other one offers a left handed CP (LHCP) wave. The proposed antennas consist of a square shaped Substrtae Integrated Waveguide (SIW) cavity incorporatng two couples of radiating slots to radiate...
