分形天线的FDTD的全波分析

采用FDTD全波分析方法对Hilbert和H分形天线进行分析.输入阻抗和方向图的计算结果验证了分形天线结构自相似性导致电特性的频率周期性变化这一规律.所得Hilbert输入阻抗结果同有关实验数据吻合较好.研究表明Hilbert和H分形天线具有降低天线结构尺寸的优点,相对于一般阵子天线,结构尺寸大为降低.分形天线阶数越高,天线结构降低越大.同时对分形天线方向图的全波分析证明分形天线同阵子天线的方向图基本相似.

The FDTD Full Wave Analysis of Fractal Antennas

The full wave FDTD method was used to analyze the Hilbert and H fractal curves antennas. The computational results of the input impedance of Hilbert fractal antenna are in good agreement with the experiments in the documents. The results also show that the self-similarity of the fractal structure leads to the multiplicity of resonances over some predetermined operating bandwidths of the antenna. Fractal geometries of Hilbert and H curves can be implemented to miniaturize the antenna, too. The results also show that the higher order fractal antenna leads to the more efficient reduction of the antenna size than the lower order one. Furthermore, the far field patterns remain almost the same as those of the dipole at their own resonant frequencies.
