Using its lowest operating frequency, this antenna has an aperture size of1/4lambda times 1/4lambdaand an axial length of1/3lambda. These dimensions represent a reduction in size of approximately 50% over conventional quad ridge horn antenna designs. With this size reduction however, there was no significant degradation in antenna performance. Specifically, a 3 to 1 operational bandwidth with a maximum VSWR of 3.5 to 1 in the operating band was achieved. Other antenna characteristics are dual polarization, 17 dB minimum isolation between ports, extremely broad pattern shape, and a coaxial feed system which originates from the rear of the antenna. This paper presents both the theoretical and empirical techniques employed throughout the development cycle. Also included are measured data for the original physically compact antenna and a second antenna based on a scaled version of this design.","PeriodicalId":399329,"journal":{"name":"1986 Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124190371","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}

As known, a complete statement of the problem is strictly related to the choice of the functional of the radiated field to be minimized by the synthesis procedure . This functional allows the restriction of the set of all the possible solutions (which in general, at the expense of the superdirectivity gain, could reproduce as closely as desired.any prescribed pattern) to an appropriate subset. In this way, accounting for the physical realizability of the pattern,the synthesis problem, which is intrinsically an ill-posed problem, becomes a.stable one. When the functional to be minimized involves both amplitude and phase of the radiated field, the so called \"field synthesis\" problem is obtained. When only the amplitude of he radiated field is prescribed, the \"power synthesis\" problem is referred to. It is to be noted that, as shown by Voytovich €11, the freedom on the phase of the reconstructed pattern. in the power synthesis problem, leads to an improvement of the precision of the reconstruction of the prescribed amplitude. In the following the power synthesis problem is then considered.","PeriodicalId":399329,"journal":{"name":"1986 Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133347243","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}
