Transient response of coupled linear dipole antennas

Transient responses of coupled linear dipole antennas are measured for a basic understanding of coupling in the time domain. A very short pulse for excitation is used and it is shown that the measured data represent the quasi-impulse responses. For further investigation and comparison with the measured data, a simple formula of the impulse response of this configuration is derived by using the transmission line approximation. They suggest that the tips and feed points of each antenna have a significant role in the electromagnetic coupling.

Analysis of a microstrip dipole antenna

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.

In the frequency band 610-960 MHz, the designed antenna has a gain of 9.5-11.9 dBi, sidelobe level <-16 dB and front-to-back ratio <30 dB. The main features of the design are the use of parasitic elements to expand the frequency band and the application of a mesh frame to decrease the sidelobe level     

Feed for dual-band printed dipole antenna

A dual-band printed dipole antenna is proposed for WLAN applications in the 2.4 and 5.2 GHz bands. A spur line was etched on the arms of the printed dipole to achieve the dual-band operation. The printed dipole antenna with a simplified matching network is proposed. The novel simplified feed structure consists of a pair of parallel metal strips printed on the opposite sides of the dielectric substrate and connected to a 50 /spl Omega/ microstrip line with a truncated ground plane. This feeding network does not require additional transition devices, such as a T-junction, power divider, tuning stub or microstrip-to-coplanar stripline balun.     

Ultra-wideband microstrip-fed planar elliptical dipole antenna

A small planar elliptical dipole antenna designed for ultra-wideband applications is proposed. With trimmed elliptical radiation patches and microstrip-coupled feeding structure, it exhibits excellent broadband behaviours and radiation patterns similar to those of a conventional dipole antenna. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.     

FM wide band panel dipole antenna

It is very common that when a broadcaster needs to install an FM transmitting antenna within a large metropolitan area he places it on the tallest structure or building available. When the rooftop is already occupied by a large number of other types of transmitting and receiving antennas, the panel dipole antenna should be chosen. This antenna is secured to the side walls of the upper floors with the panel oriented to obtain full coverage of the most desirable areas of the city. For the Buenos Aires area this orientation avoids radiating toward Uruguay and specifically toward Montevideo, some 140 miles away. A wide band antenna operation permits placing the station on the air and at the same time allows future stations to share it without the installation of new antennas. Details of model and full model impedance and radiation pattern measurements during the antenna development are presented in order to show its technical characteristics. The radiation patterns were measured on a scale model in an anechoic chamber. The full scaled model was measured in an outdoor antenna range. Both E and H plane radiation patterns were measured along the FM band in order to observe pattern variations on both planes. Practically no difference in a panel radiation beamwidth from 88 to 108 MHz was observed and at the same time good input impedance was maintained. A really wide band antenna in pattern and VSWR is obtained. Power division for the antenna system is obtained designing an eight port power divider using the microstrip line technique. In this case, however due to high power operation the ground plane and strip are contained in a sealed metallic box and are separated by high pressure dry air like into the 3" feeding coaxial line.

Results are verified experimentally through measurements conducted in antenna anechoic chambers. The results closely match previously published work based upon measurements collected in a typical indoor mobile communication environment. It is recommended that the 3D autocorrelation coefficient model be used to gauge diversity antenna measurement systems.
