| Abstract: | A point matching method is developed for the evaluation of the performance of the log-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA. Based on this method, the anomalous behaviour of the LPDA is studied and found to be improved at an optimum spacing factor and by selecting a small dipole length to diameter ratio; that is, an LPDA, operating over a given frequency band, must possess an optimum dimension that gives a pattern with eliminated anomalous backlobe peaks.<> |
