Dipole Array Scan Performance over a Wide-Band
نویسنده
چکیده
A large square array of thin dipoles has a well-behaved scan resistance over a wide bandwidth. Such an array requires reactance matching with frequency, but not with scan angles. The scan element pattern (SEP) shows only small changes over a 5 : 1 bandwidth. However, a dipole/screen array is suitable for wide-band scan only in the H-plane.

A New Design of Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) Antenna
This paper presents a new approach for design of the log-periodic dipole array antenna (LPDA) based on using of different design parameters in the LPDA elements to control the antenna behavior. In the proposed procedure, the design parameters can control the value of forward gain over the operating frequency range, and also adjust the gain flatness. Furthermore, this design procedure can decrea...

In this paper, an optimal approach to design wideband tapped-delay line (TDL) array antenna is proposed. This approach lets us control the array angular and frequency response over a wide frequency band. To this end, some design restrictions are defined and a multi-objective optimization problem is constructed by putting the individual restrictions together. The optimal weights of the TDL proce...
