The analysis is based on an infinite-array approach using periodic phased-array conditions. A computer program to implement this analysis has been developed. To verify the theoretical model, measurements of the radiation impedances with and without the coupling effects due to the vertical wires have also been conducted. As an example, a dipole array with eight vertical wires per unit cell of the dipole is considered. The predicted trend is in good agreement with measured results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81585050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gauge consists of two parts: a microwave coupler and a conducting foil. The radome is placed between these two parts to form a cavity whose resonant frequency is measured. Changes in f/sub 0/ are used to verify its transmission characteristics. The radome is tested piecewide by placing the MWRG at various locations on the surface of the radome and verifying its transmission properties at these locations. A mathematical model of the MWRG based on conventional transmission line theory is described. That is, the radome and the short-circuited connection between the foil and the flange of the coupler are assumed to act as a section of dielectric-loaded waveguide. Analytic results determined that the allowable change in the thickness of the radome core materials and assembly could cause a shift in the resonant frequency up to 0.4%, if only one dimension is in error.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88004920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors use the Luneberg-Kline expansion to obtain a more accurate solution for the illuminated region. Computed results for the early-time currents in the illuminated region are shown. It can be seen that as time increases the results obtained on the basis of Luneberg-Kline expansion decrease more rapidly than those of the physical optics solution.

A geodesic constant method permits the derivation of these ray parameters in terms of the geodesic constant h alone. Since h can be expressed in terms of the source and observation point coordinates in the case of the sphere and cone, in these cases the ray parameters are in closed form. On the other hand, in the case of the ellipsoid of revolution and the general paraboloid and hyperboloid of revolution, h can be obtained using a simple univariate search. Hence in these cases, the ray parameters are in a one-parameter dependent form. Using this approach, it is possible to readily calculate the various radiation characteristics of the antenna in the vicinity of a general QUASOR.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75998956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is found that the introduction of the nonuniformity in the grid gives rise to at least two difficulties in the implementation of the finite-difference time-domain algorithm. The first is the loss of accuracy in the computation of finite-difference derivatives when the field points are distributed nonuniformly. The second is implementation of the appropriate boundary conditions at the material interfaces. The authors address these problems and suggest some means for eradicating them. A scheme is presented that has the attractive feature that it reduces to the conventional finite-difference time-domain method if a uniform grid is used. To illustrate the proposed algorithm the authors consider a parallel plate waveguide which supports a single propagating mode.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76481318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
