Dependence of radiation pattern on dogbonepair arrangement installed on surface wave antenna

Abstract

This paper deals with discussions on a comparison between the radiation patterns for 2-by-2 and for 2-by-6 Dog-bone-pair structure (DPS) array on the surface wave antennas. As a result, a low-profile and vertical polarized planar antenna with a bi-directional radiation pattern for radiating parallel to the ground plane is achieved.
