The calculation and optimization of directional characteristics of vibrator antenna with limited dimensional screen

Abstract

Using the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction, algorithms and programs have been derived for calculating and analyzing the directive characteristics of a radiating elementary electric vibrator with an ideally conducting rectangular plane screen at any observation direction. The directive gains of the analyzed system in a normal direction to the screen have been investigated when changing sizes of the screen over wide ranges, for various distances between the vibrator and the screen.
