Recommendations for effectively truncating the 1-D/2-D periodic structures, designed to act as superstructures in such antennas, are presented. It is shown that the aperture size in such antennas contributes, in part, towards the directivity-bandwidth product. A simple Fabry-Perot cavity antenna which uses a two layered 1-D Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure as its superstructure is studied to quantify the effects of aperture size on peak directivity and half-power directivity-bandwidth. Conventional aperture size for such antennas ranges from 5-6λ02, which results in over-dimensioning as well as narrowband behavior. It is shown that comparable performance with existing designs can be achieved by using much smaller aperture sizes and thus reducing the antenna footprint. This work serves as a guide to effectively choose and fine-tune aperture sizes for Fabry-Perot cavity antennas, thus reducing the redundant computational load in the full-scale design process.","PeriodicalId":395359,"journal":{"name":"2013 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave & Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122427383","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}

Nowadays recent research on this field has shown a great prospect for RF generation using these devices in aerospace application such as in ultra-wide band radar for communications, remote sensing and surveillance due to less attenuation and electromagnetic interference. Also other important applications are envisioned in high power microwave sources for battlefield communication disruption and space vehicle systems as they can replace electronic tubes without the need of vacuum and heating. A nonlinear transmission line basically consists of a lumped LC line using a nonlinear element (variable inductance or capacitance) or a continuous transmission line using a nonlinear medium (ferroelectric or ferrimagnetic).
