Directivity of Planar Arrays of Arbitrarily Oriented Dipoles Located above Perfectly Conducting Plane

Abstract

The effective algorithms for calculating the directive gains in the maximum radiation and corresponding radiation resistances of the planar non-equidistant arrays of the dipoles with separable variables amplitude-phase current distribution, located above an ideally conducting plane are created. There are used the analytical expressions obtained for the interference factors of the equidistant linear dipoles arrays located above an ideally conducting plane along the axes of the Cartesian coordinate system (CCS). For the planar dipoles equidistant arrays located above the screen, in cases of half-wave dipoles being parallel to CCS axes, the dependencies of directive gains and radiation resistances on distance between dipoles and a form of arrays are investigated and verified by software Feko.
