The analysis proceeds from the integral equation technique solved by the moment method and associated with the simple one-port model. Return losses S/sub 11/ of electromagnetically coupled dipoles covered and uncovered by a radome are presented. As expected, with a radome a shift in the resonance frequency and also a degradation of the matching take place. Theoretical and experimental data agree within 0.3% for the frequency and 1.4% for the amplitude. Results show that the resonant frequency is shifted, the matching is significantly degraded, and the radiation pattern is not deeply altered.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"13 1","pages":"612-615 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82662798","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}

SD provides the means of implementing the combined-field surface-patching MM technique with a computer memory and execution time requirement of order M, where M is the number of spatial subzones. SD has been successfully applied to electrically large two-dimensional dielectric targets and three-dimensional conducting bodies of revolution.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"7 1","pages":"576-577 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89054679","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 advantage of this design is that it provides a larger quiet zone area and reduces the manufacturing cost. The configuration consists of a large surface of revolution as primary mirror, and a conventional point-source spherical-wave feed. The point-source feed is located outside the column of parallel rays reflected from the primary mirror in the Z-axis. Using geometrical ray tracing, a subreflector contour can be generated. Since the proposed approach is based on the surface of revolution, either a paraboloid or a spherical surface can be chosen as the main reflector.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"122 1","pages":"328-331 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88001203","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}
