Book excerpt: Short-backfire (SBF) antennas can be simply converted into highly directive and efficient array elements. Each SBF element is the equivalent of four to six dipole elements of conventional multielement arrays. Models of two-, four-, and eight-element SBF arrays have yielded gains of 17, 19, and 22 dB, respectively. Radiation patterns are presented, including the sum and difference patterns in the two major planes (E and H), as well as those for diagonal cuts at plus or minus 45 degrees. All physical dimensions are given in wavelengths so that each model can be easily scaled for any desired frequency. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short backfire (SBF) antenna consisting of a large reflector illuminated by a dipole feed and smaller disk reflector produces a gain of 15 dB above isotropic. As an array element it has been efficiently adapted for various configurations of high-gain antennas producing gains of up to 25 dB, with a single SBF element capable of replacing four to six elements of a conventional multidipole array. Farfield patterns and directivity measurements are presented for a single element and for a twin element mounted on a common reflector. Optimized dimensions for both cases are discussed for possible application to more complex types of antennas.

Download or read book An Eight Element Short Backfire Fan Beam Array written by Hermann W. Ehrenspeck and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight short backfire (SBF) elements aligned on a common planar reflector form a highly efficient fan-beam array capable of yielding a maximum gain of approximately 24 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns and directivity was experimentally determined by varying the frequency. Normalized design parameters for highest efficiency and for circular polarization capability are tabulated. All array dimensions are given in wavelengths so that each application can easily be scaled for any desired frequency. (Author).

Download or read book An SBF Array for Reception of Atmospheric Noise written by J. A. Strom and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A four-element short-backfire array was designed, fabricated, and experimentally tested for use as a receiving antenna of low level atmospheric noise at 920 MHz. A complete set of design dimensions is presented as well as the resultant radiation patterns and frequency curves of sidelobe levels, half-power beamwidths, and input impedance. The effects of variations on the size and shape of the main reflector are discussed, especially when efficient operation with low sidelobes or high gain is of prime importance. Supporting data and tables of optimum design dimension are also provided for future VHF or UHF antenna applications in the gain range of 17 to 20 dB.

Book excerpt: Four-element short-backfire (SBF) arrays have been shown to yield maximum gains of approximately 20 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns has been experimentally determined. Specific parameter values required to yield certain pattern characteristics--for example, highest gain, lowest sidelobe level, equal half-power beamwidth, or equal beam shapes in both the E and H planes--have been established. Tables of the normalized design parameters are given for construction purposes. All array dimensions are indicated in wavelengths so that each model can easily be scaled for any desired frequency range. (Author).

Download or read book Influence of Variation of Backfire Antenna Parameters 1 written by Erik Drago Nielsen and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large number of numerical results for Yagi backfire antennas are presented, from which the influence of a variation of the antenna parameters may be deducted. The results were obtained by means of a previously described theory for backfire antennas with dipole elements, and the numerical computations were carried out on a digital computer. Samples of the numerical results were compared with experimental results obtained in a radio anechoic chamber. Finally, the influence of small changes in the general Yagi backfire antenna structure, such as changing the single dipole reflector elements into a half-transparent or solid conducting plate or changing the array of equally long dipole director elements into a tapered array, was investigated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High gain, planar array antennas which operate at millimetre wave frequencies, and can be mass produced at low cost, are desired by industry. The design of such arrays continues to be academically challenging. A literature review was conducted covering patents and papers describing antenna arrays either operating at, or suitable for operation at, millimetre wave frequencies. Four presently under exploited technology types were identified. Two of the under exploited technologies were investigated. Both small and medium sized arrays of non-radiating edge fed microstrip patches were built up in a consistent process. The design of the patch and 1 x 2 subarray were shown to affect the radiation pattern behaviour of 16 x 16 arrays. The placement of nulls in the 2 x 2 subarray radiation patterns proved critical to the mitigation of grating lobes, which were a source of directivity loss. A considerable difference in directivity characteristics across 10% bandwidth was found between in phase and 180 feeding within the 2 x 2 subarrays. An optimised 180 fed 4 x 4 subarray presented an improvement over prior work. Changing the boundary conditions at the juncture of the base and rim of the cavity of short backfire antennas was found to alter the directivity. Large diameter short backfire antennas with choked, inclined and curved junctures produced high directivity. A readily machinable design was used in a small array, to demonstrate its utility as a high aperture efficiency array element. The results are of importance to the future development of low cost, planar or quasi-planar antenna arrays, particularly at millimetre wave frequencies.
