It was observed that the dielectric superstrate improves the directivity but generally at the expense of higher sidelobe level. It improves the patterns and directivity of the antenna by increasing the electrical length and effective aperture of the antenna. The dielectric superstrate could be used to reduce the physical length and to improve the radiation characteristics of the LTSA.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115353990","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}

It is found empirically that the focal-plane method gives a better design in terms of the G/T figure than previous S-band designs. DSS-13 was designed to work at X- and Ka-bands with 22-dBi corrugated horns placed at F/sub 3/. At S-band, a 22-dBi corrugated feed located at F/sub 3/ does not perform well. The focal-plane method suggested that a 19-dBi corrugated horn might perform better. Using physical-optics and Jacobi-Bessel computer software, this was found to be the case. Using a smaller gain horn also enabled the designer to fit the feed in a vertical position, which makes the mechanical layout of all the waveguide components easier to achieve.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":138141,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129534466","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}
