A Circular Array for Plane-Wave Synthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze a circular array of electric line sources for generating a uniform plane wave in the interior region of the array. Identical results for the synthesized element weightings are obtained using matrix inversion or a Fourier series technique. A physical optics approximation for the element weightings is also presented, hut it yields a much poorer result for the synthesized field. The angle of arrival of the plane wave can be scanned by recalculating the element weightings, and the quality of the field is maintained. Frequency scanning is also possible, but the number of array elements limits the maximum frequency, Key Words-Plane-wave synthesis, uniform plane wave, antenna array. Index Code-AZd, I7d.

Circularly Polarized Circular Slot Antenna Array Using Sequentially Rotated Feed Network
This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurement of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: a single element and an array at C band. The proposed single element antenna is excited by an L-shaped strip with a tapered end, located along the circular-slot diagonal line in the back plane. From the array experimental results, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth can r...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Probe-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) Supported by Finite Circular Ground Plane
Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received increased interest in recent years for their potential applications in microwave and millimeter wave communication systems. DRAs are normally used with the support of a ground plane. The radiation and impedance properties therefore depend not only on their physical dimensions and dielectric properties, but also on the size of the ground plane. ...

متن کاملOblique Incidence Plane Wave Scattering from an Array of Circular Dielectric Cylinders
Abstract—A rigorous semi-analytical solution is presented for electromagnetic scattering from an array of circular cylinders due to an obliquely incident plane wave. The cylinders are illuminated by either TMz or TEz incident plane wave. The solution is based on the application of the boundary conditions on the surface of each cylinder in terms of the local coordinate system of each individual ...
متن کاملExpansions for infinite or finite plane circular time-reversal mirrors and acoustic curtains for wave-field-synthesis.
An acoustic curtain is an array of microphones used for recording sound which is subsequently reproduced through an array of loudspeakers in which each loudspeaker reproduces the signal from its corresponding microphone. Here the sound originates from a point source on the axis of symmetry of the circular array. The Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral for a plane circular curtain is solved analyticall...
