A phased antenna array of horizontally polarized radiators near a cylindrical surface

Abstract

In this paper, we present a solution of the electrodynamic problem on excitation of a phased array made of strip vibrators with horizontal polarization near a conducting cylindrical surface. The antenna array is being excited with generators with a given amplitude-phase distribution over the ring and with the equal amplitude and a linear phase shift along the cylinder axis. The current distribution on the vibrator and radiation patterns of the array radiators are defined with the method of integral equations.
