The simulation enables the accurate representation of the coaxial source and the computation of the current on the two conductors of the feed transmission line. We show that the infinite balun feed arrangement results in localized current imbalance and storage of surface charge in the vicinity of feed point of the antenna. The result is not unexpected, but it is interesting to see the degree of current imbalance and how this imbalance diminishes with distance away from the feed point. It is shown that lengthening the portion of the feed transmission line in front of the foremost elements improves the current balance and therefore the co-polarized gain at the upper operating frequency of the antenna where these elements are active.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127229309","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}

But there is less way to measure the impulse wave, especially the wave which width of the impulse only has 10ns wave. It is hard to detect and measure it with the traditional method.

Profile reduction is obtained by using only a single dielectric layer of such surfaces which is found to provide improved performance than the multi-layered superstrates. The use of such surfaces results in a varied reflectivity within the cavity and makes the boresight emissions spatially coherent. This provides high boresight directivity with improved bandwidth characteristics. With this surface as super-strate of a resonant cavity antenna, performance is evaluated for a single feed exciting the cavity. Highly directive beams with 17.6dBi peak directivity and fairly suppressed side lobes are obtained over a very wide bandwidth with only a single layer lens-like surface.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132423035","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}
