Radiation Pattern of Waveguide Antenna Arrays on Spherical Surface - Experimental Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the radiation pattern of two experimental models of circular waveguide antenna arrays on spherical surface is obtained experimentally and compared with theoretical patterns. We have omitted the phase delay of feed system signals because we have only compared measured and theoretical results in order to verify theoretical results, without trying to improve the best radiation characteristics of developed experimental models. Analysis was made with a developed moment method (MoM) program. The spectral-domain approach to the analysis of the spherical antenna arrays is briefly presented in the paper. Measurements were not performed in a well-defined anechoic environment.

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...

Using the sampled data of a desired pattern is a common technique in pattern synthesizing of array factor (AF) of antenna arrays. Based on the obtained data matrix, Least Square Method (LSM) is used to calculate the exciting coefficient of array elements. The most important parameter, which involves the accuracy and complexity of calculation, is the sampling rate of the desired pattern. Classic...
