Radiation Characteristics of a Square Pyramidal Horn Antenna with Tapered DielectricE-Plane Boundary Walls Loaded With Periodic Conducting Strips

چکیده

A rectangular pyramidal horn antenna fabricated with tapered dielectric E-plane boundary walls whose inner surface is periodically loaded with thin conducting strips is investigated. For better impedance matching, at the throat region of the horn antenna, 3 cm portion is metallised. The radiation characteristics of this horn antenna are compared with that of an identical conventional horn antenna with conducting E-plane boundary walls. Considerable improvement in the E-plane radiation characteristics is observed. As H-plane boundary walls are not modified, no change in the H-plane radiation characteristics is observed. However,the conventional horn antenna shows slightly better impedance matching than the test horn antenna.

Modified Rectangular Patch Antenna Loaded With Multiple C Slots for Multiple Applications

A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made of conducting materials such as copper or gold. This study...

UWB Planar Conical Horn-Shaped Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antenna

An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...
