Optimum Endfire Patterns

ثبت نشده
چکیده

In [2], Duhamel obtained the optimal endfire array excitation by extending the Riblet’s broadside array design method. So, similar to the Riblet’s distribution, the obtained endfire distribution is limited to odd numbered arrays. In this section, authors present a broadened formulation which can be used for both even as well as odd numbered arrays. The basic idea behind this formulation comes from the Dolph’s formulation for broadside arrays [1]. The formulation presented in this section is applicable for any interelement spacing1 d. In addition, depending upon the allowed back-lobe level, endfire patterns can be categorized into bi-directional and uni-directional. In this section, theory for synthesizing both these types of patterns is presented.

Electrically Small Supergain Endfire Arrays

The theory, computer simulations, and experimental measurements are presented for electrically small two-element supergain arrays with near optimal endfire gains of 7 dB. We show how the difficulties of narrow tolerances, large mismatches, low radiation efficiencies, and reduced scattering of electrically small parasitic elements are overcome by using electrically small resonant antennas as the...

TDL-based Wideband Beamforming for Radio Sources Close to the Array Endfire

Uniform linear array (ULA)-based tapped-delay line (TDL) structure has good performance metrics when the signal sources are located at the middle angles. It offers poor performance when the signal sources are close to the array endfire. In this paper, a new approach is proposed which offers higher performance and desired beamforming on TDL structure when the wideband uncorrelated radio sources ...

Current Distribution Dynamics in Microstrip Patch Antenna Arrays

This paper presents a novel way for achieving endfire radiation pattern using microstrip patch antenna array. The extensively used microstrip patch antennas i.e. rectangular and circular microstrip patch antennas, either single patch or in an array configuration do not have an endfire radiation pattern. The antenna array presented in this paper is designed by changing the geometry of the antenn...

Directivity of Uniformly Spaced Optimum Endfire Arrays With Equal Sidelobes

A mathe matical formulation is devised for a uniformly spaced and uniformly progressively phased antenna array of a given number of isotropic ele ments such that the final radiation pattern is end fire with no large bac klobe. The pallern also has the maximum number of sidelobes of equal level, modifying the result of an earlier paper, eve n when the ele ment spacing is made arbitrarily small. ...

Design of Miniaturized Dominant Mode Leaky-Wave Antenna with Backfire-to-Endfire Scanning Capability by using Metamaterials

A new miniaturized dominant mode leaky-wave antenna is proposed. This antenna is a transmission line structure with radiating wavenumber increasing from negative to positive values, providing backward to forward scanning capability as frequency is increased. The antenna profile is designed based on microstrip technology using balanced composite right left handed transmission lines (CRLH TL) app...
