A one-parameter circular aperture distribution is developed which provides an optimum compromise between narrow beamwidth, low sidelobes, and low apertureQ . The pattern is a modifiedJ_{1}(x)/x , analogous to the Taylor one-parameter modified sin(x)/x line source distribution. Sidelobe envelope taper is essentially that of a uniformly excited circular aperture; hence the aperture is lowQ . The aperture distribution which is rotationally symmetric is given by a modified Bessel function of zero order. Like all high efficiency distributions, it has a pedestal. All antenna quantities, sidelobe ratio, beamwidth, aperture efficiency, and edge taper, are uniquely related to the parameterH . A table of these quantities is given for sidelobe ratios up to 50 dB. A typical pattern and several distributions are graphed. This new distribution allows tradeoff studies to be made against any design quantity, with all other quantities determined through the one-parameter. 相似文献

The power transfer efficiency between two circular aperture antennas in the Fresnel region is obtained analytically and explicitly. They are focused at each other and illuminated as a simple Gaussian taper. Two apertures also have generally different sizes and unequal illuminations. It is shown that the Gaussian distribution is close to the optimum, which is derived from the theory of the confocal optical resonators. The effect of the deviation of the illumination from the optimum upon the efficiency is numerically evaluated. The result shows that the reduction of the efficiency for a constant deviation increases as the Fresnel number decreases. The dissimilarity of both aperture illuminations also reduces the efficiency. The qualitative trend is such that the larger the dissimilarity, the smaller the efficiency. When the order of dissimilarity is small or the taper of the aperture is large, the efficiency can be approximately predicted by assuming equal illumination with the geometrical mean of the two illuminations. A simplified approximate efficiency which can be applied to the greatly tapered illumination is also derived. 相似文献

Meandering long slot leaky-wave waveguide-antennas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A theoretical study is made of the aperture field distributions, the far-field amplitude patterns, and the mutual coupling characteristics of several long leaky-wave slot antennas cut on the broadwall of a rectangular waveguide mounted in an infinite ground plane. Straight long slots have high inner sidelobes in the far-field amplitude patterns, which reduces their utility as high-performance antennas. To reduce these sidelobes, a long slot may be meandered from waveguide centerline to sidewall and back to centerline in such a way to produce the desired radiation patterns. Calculated results for antennas of several meander patterns are presented and discussed 相似文献

A new type of feed horn-the hexagonal horn-is proposed and investigated by means of Gaussian-Hermite beam-mode analysis. The electric-field distribution at the horn aperture plane is approximated. The polarization efficiency is 88.66%. The fractional power in the fundamental beam mode is about 85%. The near- and far-field radiation patterns are calculated. The high fractional power in the fundamental beam mode of the horn indicates that it can be used as an efficient Gaussian beam launcher in quasi-optical systems 相似文献

Results of an experimental study are presented in which the near-field probe was used as a diagnostic tool to locate the defective elements in a planar array. The near-field data were processed not only to obtain the far-field patterns of the array under the test, but also to reconstruct the aperture field for diagnostic purposes. The backward transform enables the near-field probe to identify accurately aperture faults at a distance, free of interactions and couplings with the array elements. In practice, to recover the aperture field properly from the near-field distribution, the evanescent components in the computed far-field spectrum must be excluded from the inverse process with fast-Fourier-transform (FFT) techniques. For low-gain array antennas, a correction on the far-field spectrum is required to remove the contribution of the probe and the element factor before the inverse transform, strongly enhancing the resolution 相似文献

A theoretical and experimental study is made of the effects of a dielectric of arbitrary thickness, permittivity, and loss tangent upon the aperture field distributions and the far-field radiation pattern characteristics of long-slot leaky-wave antennas cut on the broadwall of a rectangular waveguide and mounted in an infinite ground plane. The relevant integral equations for determining the aperture fields are developed and then solved using the moment method. Expressions for the far-field radiation patterns and isolation responses are developed. Calculated and experimental results for several antennas are presented and discussed 相似文献

A concept of prompt aperture efficiency is introduced for the purpose of comparing and optimizing the performance of impulse radiating antennas (IRAs). The aperture efficiencies of popular lens and reflector IRAs are computed as the ratios of peak radiated power densities on boresight compared with that produced by an ideal IRA with an aperture of equal area and equal total input power. Loss of aperture efficiency occurs through two distinct mechanisms: from power that falls outside the aperture and is lost and from nonuniform power and polarization distributions within the aperture. Both loss mechanisms are addressed, and means for increasing efficiencies are identified. The optimum aperture for a given feed structure is derived. Prompt aperture efficiencies approaching 100% are feasible in TEM-horn arrays and similar structures 相似文献

A new measurement technique is proposed for determining the second Petermann definition of mode field diameter (MFD) for single-mode fibers with both near-Gaussian and non-Gaussian radial field distributions. The method involves measuring the power passed through a circular aperture as it is scanned along the far-field optical axis of a fiber. Using this technique, it is possible to select those acceptance angles that are most critical to the accurate determination of MFD for a particular fiber design. Also, the aperture can be positioned close enough to the fiber endface so that collection of the total far-field power is assured. Measurements of MFD for conventional and disperson-modified single-mode fibers have been made at 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm with a precision of +/-0.05 μm and a comparison with the far-field angular scanning method gives agreement ot within 1 percent for both fiber types. 相似文献

A method for computing and exhibiting Fresnel-region fields radiated by microwave antennas that uses plane-wave scattering matrix analysis is presented. Near-fields are calculated by numerically integrating the complex far-field antenna pattern. The predicted near fields are exhibited as relative power density contours lying in a longitudinal plane bisecting the antenna's aperture. With spatial-coordinate scaling, each set of contours becomes a function of the relative aperture distribution and the electrical size of the antenna. If the electrical diameter is much larger than any normalized transverse coordinate of interest, the contour set becomes invariant with respect to antenna size. The coordinate normalization can produce contours applicable to any antenna with the same relative aperture distribution, regardless of antenna size 相似文献

A 1-parameter circular aperture distribution is described. It is analagous to the Taylor 1-parameter modified (sin x)/x line source. The new distribution allows aperture design and tradeoff studies to be easily made in terms of sidelobe ratio or edge taper; the distribution is efficient and of low Q. Both the distribution and its corresponding pattern are given by Bessel functions. A table of values of the parameter H, beamwidth, efficiency and edge taper are given against sidelobe ratio. 相似文献

A method is presented which allows to calculate the large signal beam efficiency of a gyromonotron working at the s-th harmonic of the cyclotron frequency. The results of this calculation using efficiency optimized parameters are given for different TEmn distributions and also for a magnetic taper. It is shown that beam efficiencies, which are higher than twice the value at constant electric and magnetic fields are theoretically possible. Also the influence of the beam voltage is considered. For a given beam voltage and a given electric field distribution in the resonator power calculations are performed and it is shown what powerlevels are available for different resonator modes and for different cyclotron harmonics. 相似文献

Distribution functions used in array antenna design typically synthesize specified pattern characteristics without consideration for either the peak amplitude of the radiating elements or the aperture radiated power. There do exist applications, however, in which the pattern synthesis must employ such constraints. In the transmit mode of active array antennas, for example, it is desirable to radiate as much power as possible subject to a per-element peak amplitude constraint while simultaneously suppressing the outer sidelobes. This paper discusses the design considerations of the constrained least squares (CLS) distribution function. In the CLS distribution, most of the radiating elements near the array center are set to their maximum value while only a few of the outer elements are tapered. A method for generating CLS distributions given constraints on both the peak element amplitude and the total effective radiated voltage (ERV) is discussed. The design involves specifying the desired ERV and a weighting function that allows selectively suppressing sidelobes in specified regions. The effects of these design parameters on the far-field patterns are explored 相似文献

Domain decomposition FDTD algorithm for the analysis of a new type of E-plane sectorial horn with aperture field distribution optimization 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

In this paper, a universal and efficient approach of domain decomposition finite-difference time-domain FDTD (DD-FDTD) is presented for the analysis of a new type of horn antenna-E-plane sectorial horn with field amplitude taper and phase correction in the aperture. The power fed into the horn is redistributed to achieve the optimal field amplitude distribution in the aperture, and meanwhile the field phase is corrected by metal lens. Compared with conventional E-plane sectorial horns, the new horn antenna takes the advantages of low sidelobe level, short physical length and wide flare angle etc. Moreover, the most important property of this horn is the weak coupling with each other when it is used as the element of a phased array antenna. The field analysis of such a horn antenna is an extremely complicated three-dimensional EM boundary value problem. The domain decomposition FDTD method is presented in this paper to break through the drawback. The whole horn is decomposed into several subdomains and the meshes are created in local coordinates. In the iteration procedure of FDTD, the data are exchanged between adjacent subdomains with overlapped meshes. The aperture field distribution, voltage standing-wave ratio and pattern calculated by the DD-FDTD method are in good agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献

Reflector antenna fields--An exact aperture-like approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A new computational approach is presented which allows fast analysis of radiation from large reflector antennas. For an aperture a Fourier transform (FT) relationship does exist between far-field and aperture distribution. Accordingly, the far field can be exactly reconstructed from the knowledge of approximately one sample per lobe (Shannon-Whittaker theorem applied at Nyquist rate). The finite reflector curvature introduces an extra factor in the radiation integral so that the radiation integral is no longer a FT. In order to overcome this difficulty a new pseudosampling expansion, which explicitly takes into account the extra factor, is developed. For parabolic reflector the sampling functions are related to the Fresnel integrals, and the far field can be exactly reconstructed in terms of aperture far-field samples, which can be computed using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). Numerical computations and error analysis show the excellent performance of the method, which can be generalized to deal with arbitrary reflector surfaces and near-field evaluation. 相似文献

In the near field of the Arecibo spherical antenna radar system, i.e., at ranges less than about 260 km, the gain is a function of range and a knowledge of gain is necessary for deducing electron-density information from the power backscattered from the ionosphere. A method of obtaining the phase taper across the aperture (and hence the near-field on-axis and backscatter gains versus range), given a knowledge of the far-field on-axis gain versus frequency, and the amplitude of the illumination over the aperture is suggested. Our studies show that measurements of on-axis far-field gain over a bandwidth ofpm7 MHz are adequate to give an accurate indication of on-axis gain versus range in the near field, while apm15 MHz frequency spread is needed to give accurate information on the backscatter gain versus range. The near-field correction for the antenna has also been estimated from measurements made on a model of the new line feed. Confidence in the validity of this approach has been obtained by comparing the measured far-field on-axis gain versus frequency with that calculated using the data from the model feed. 相似文献

The properties of a general class of monopulse antenna difference patterns which are obtained by differentiating a desirable class of antenna sum patterns are analyzed. Their corresponding aperture distributions are synthesized using the Fourier transform. It is found that of the general class of patterns considered, there is one family which gives the best compromise between slope at boresight and sidelobe level. Curves are presented which relate sidelobe level and slope at boresight for this particular family; these curves may be used to design monopulse difference patterns for either a specified slope at boresight or a specified sidelobe level. Simple expressions for the corresponding far-field difference patterns, their beamwidth, and their aperture distributions are given. 相似文献

锥形光纤的功率分布特性 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
从波动理论出发,对锥形光纤的纵向传播常数进行泰勒(Taylor)级数展开,经近似得到了锥形光纤功率分布的解。基于此理论,对锥形光纤的功率分布特性进行了讨论,并分析了锥形光纤的长度、锥度和光纤折射率等参数对锥形光纤不同模式功率分布的影响。为了减小功率泄漏,当光从锥形光纤大端入射时,应当减小锥长,减小锥度,增大纤芯包层折射率差;当光从锥形光纤小端入射时,应当增加锥长,增加锥度,增大纤芯包层折射率差。在长锥长、大锥度情况下,光纤折射率分布的影响相对较小。 相似文献
