Analysis of Scanning Characteristics in the H plane of Ultrabroadband Cylindrical Antenna Arrays of Biconical Elements

详细

Finite-element method is used to construct electrodynamic models of cylindrical phased antenna arrays using bicones and fragments of bicones. Numerical experiments are used to study scanning characteristics of cylindrical phased antenna arrays with different numbers of biconical elements. Phase relationships of the elements are optimized for minimization of side lobes. It is shown that the ultrabroadband regime of the cylindrical phased antenna arrays can be implemented using circular scanning in the Н plane.
