Flat radiating dipoles and applications to arrays
Abstract
Elementary radiating sources are considered along with flat radiating arrays. An isolated antenna is examined, taking into account a linear antenna and a small-size flat dipole. An open-circuited dipole parallel to a perfect reflector plane is investigated, giving attention to a symmetrical cylindrical dipole, and the patch microstrip source. Other radiating sources considered, include a short-circuited dipole parallel to a perfect reflector plane and a flat folded dipole parallel to a perfect reflector plane. A stationary wave and transversal radiation plane array is discussed along with a progressive wave and deflected radiation plane array, and a progressive wave and transversal radiation plane array. Attention is also given to the wide microstrip antenna, large bandwidth short-circuited strips, microstrip patches, open and short-circuited flat dipoles, and flat folded dipoles.
