Analysis of the log-periodic V-dipole antenna

The log-periodic V-dipole antenna (LPVA) operating in the3lambda/2mode is analyzed numerically using the projective technique. The antenna is treated as a parallel connection of an array of V-dipoles and a feeder transmission line. This decoupling of the circuits enables one to obtain the dipole currents simply by considering the array of V-dipoles as a boundary value problem and solving the necessary integral equations. The currents can then be used to give the various properties of the antenna. Effects on the antenna behavior obtained by changing its parameters are illustrated, and general characteristic curves presented.     

Optimization of the loop-coupled log-periodic antenna

Varying the spacing between the transposed transmission line feeder and the radiating elements of the loop-coupled antenna is investigated experimentally using far-field swept-frequency techniques. An optimum spacing is found in the sense that anomalous frequency performance is minimized. A theory using dispersion relationships is developed and used to explain some of the experimental phenomena observed.     

Extension of the frequency range of Josephson impedance spectroscopy

The results of the spectral analysis of a high-temperature superconducting (HTSC) log-periodic antenna integrated with a HTSC Josephson junction (JJ) and operating, in this case, as a test resonant system are presented. Current-voltage characteristics of the JJ and dependences of its differential resistance on the voltage across the JJ are measured at a temperature of 5 K by varying the JJ critical current by an external magnetic field in order to extend the operating frequency range of the spectral analysis. The low-frequency boundary of the spectral analysis, which is determined by temperature fluctuations, is lowered to 64 GHz. The equivalent circuit of an integrated device consisting of the JJ and the log-periodic antenna is analyzed. The real part of the antenna admittance is reconstructed from experimental data in the frequency range 65–1200 GHz. Experimental results are compared with the results of numerical calculation.

Multiple-frequency computer analysis of the log-periodic dipole antenna

Matrix methods for analysis of dipole antenna arrays have been applied to general computer programs but often require large amounts of computation time for multiple-frequency analysis of electrically long arrays, since most of the computations must be repeated for each frequency. It is shown how the special geometry of a leg-periodic dipole antenna may be exploited within the general framework of matrix methods to permit multiple-frequency analysis without the need to repeat all computations for each frequency. The computation of antenna currents at one frequency is made use of in solving for currents at a different frequency; the time consuming matrix inversion step is required only once.

Attempts are made to verify Kosta's [1] theory of log-periodic dipole (LPD) antenna, for LPD structures with separation angle (psi) between two halves not equal to zero (psi neq 0deg), using Monser's [2] experimental results. It is shown that this theory is quite capable of explaining the electrical properties of the LPD withpsi neq 0deg.     

Bandwidth limitations of log-periodic microstrip patch antenna arrays

Results are presented for the frequency dependence of the propagation constant of uniform microstrip patch arrays that allow the bandwidth limitations of log-periodic patch arrays to be deduced. It is found that direct coupling of the patch to the feed line limits the log-periodic bandwidth to about a 2:1 frequency range. However, the introduction of series reactance into the equivalent circuit such as by the use of overlaid patches indicate that log-periodic action over a very wide bandwidth is possible which will then be limited by the uniform substrate and production tolerances.

The input admittance of the rectangular cavity-backed slot antenna

The input admittance of the rectangular cavity-backed slot antenna is investigated. The slot is assumed narrow so that the voltage distribution in its aperture is sinusoidal. Equations which represent the input admittance of this slot, backed by a rectangular cavity in which a single propagating wave is assumed to exist, are given. Calculations based on these representations are compared to available measured data. As the depth of the cavity increased the resonant frequency decreased and the bandwidth became narrower. Input admittance curves as a function of electrical slot length are also presented for several size cavities.

Input admittance of a multilayer insulated monopole antenna

An efficient numerical technique based on the modal-expansion method in conjunction with a recursive algorithm is developed for a multilayer insulated monopole antenna fed by a coaxial transmission line. The modal-expansion analysis is facilitated by introducing a perfectly matched boundary (PMB) at a variable height over the ground plane of the monopole. The current distribution and input admittance are computed by finding the expansion coefficients of the electromagnetic field expressions. Numerical results for the input admittance of a dielectric-coated monopole antenna and an air-insulated monopole are compared with experimental ones available in the literature. Good agreement is achieved. Calculated results for the effects of various parameters on the input admittance of an air-insulated monopole antenna are presented and discussed
