On the magnetic dipole representation of small loop antenna

The use of a magnetic dipole to represent a small loop antenna is examined by comparing their field components. Particular attention is paid to the dipole approximation in the near field, and curves are presented which allow an accurate and rapid assessment to be made of the error as a function of angle and distance from the loop. The curves, which apply to any loop with a circumference between 0.0001 λ and 0.1 λ, enable the correction to the dipole field to be estimated. The difference between the loop and magnetic dipole fields is expressed algebraically for large distances from the loop, and for near-axial angles.

An antenna consisting of a resonant dielectric hemisphere on top of a ground plane is investigated. Calculations of the internal and external fields are made with emphasis on the lowest-order mode that results in efficient radiation in the direction perpendicular to the ground plane. Measured input impedance data are also presented for a practical radiator.     

Compact size dipole antenna

A novel wideband planar dipole antenna is proposed. This antenna has a simple structure and compact size. For verification, the newly proposed structure was fabricated and measured. It is shown that the return loss of the antenna between 3.0 and 7.5 GHz is better than 2 10 dB. The radiation performance is good over the whole frequency band.     

Quadrifilar loop antenna

A new quadrifilar antenna has been developed for generating circularly polarized backfire radiation. The antenna consists of two orthogonal rectangular conducting loops, each incorporating capacitive coupling and fed using either a single or two coaxial cables. Though the geometry is much simpler than a conventional quadrifilar helix antenna, the radiation pattern performance is very similar. Measured and simulated patterns are compared for two antennas with different feed arrangements. It is shown that the resonant structure can produce a cardioid pattern with a directivity of 4.5 dB (120/spl deg/ 3 dB beamwidth) and a front-to-back ratio of more than 20 dB at the center operating frequency. A 10% impedance bandwidth (VSWR<2) over which the axial ratio is less than 3 dB is demonstrated.     

Symmetric electromagnetic field of a circular loop antenna over the conductive cone of finite length

The relationships of the radiated power as a function of the antenna position on the symmetry axis of the cone were established. The directional patterns and field distribution in the near-field zone were obtained for different geometrical parameters of the diffraction system. The results obtained were compared with similar relationships for semi-infinite cones.

The theoretical values are in close agreement with the experimental results.     

Efficiency of resistive vee dipole antenna

The efficiency of the resistive vee dipole antenna, the arms of which are loaded with surface-mount chip resistors according to the modified Wu-King profile, is obtained numerically. The numerical model is based on the method of moments and validated by a set of reflection measurements. The numerical model is used to obtain the radiation efficiency and the power dissipated in each chip resistor. Results show that the antenna has low radiation efficiency because the chip resistors dissipate a significant portion of input power. The results may be used to determine the amount of input power that can be handled by the antenna or the resistor types that can handle the power required for a desired application.     

Pulse response of linear dipole antenna

Applications of transient electromagnetics include nonnuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects on electronic systems to evaluate system vulnerability. A basic component used in the mathematical modeling of systems for EMP vulnerability is the linear dipole antenna. Wu has derived an approximate analytical solution for the pulse reflected from the feed point of a linear dipole antenna for an incident ideal step function of current. The solution does not include the part associated with the very high frequency components because of an approximation used in evaluating the integral describing the reflected pulse. The approximation is eliminated and a simple analytical solution is given that describes that portion of the step function response associated with the very high frequency components. Numerical evaluation of the solution demonstrates convergence with Wu's approximate solution.     

Multi-circular loop monopole antenna

A novel multi-band multiple circular loop monopole antenna is presented. The three outer loops have a size ratio of 2 while the feed monopole is a disc, resulting in a quasi-log periodic performance. A method for controlling the radiation pattern, which gives better results than the circular disc monopole at higher operating frequencies, is presented. The proposed antenna performance is also compared with that of the fractal Sierpinski gasket monopole     

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.
