Antenna Pattern Control Using Impedance Surfaces

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

The modification of a moment method code is described. Analyses of horn antennas were conducted extensively. Excellent agreements with measured results were observed for pyramidal horn antennas with perfectly conducting surfaces. The predicted results are so accurate that even the finest ripple structures in the far-field radiation patterns are computed correctly. Preliminary results for the radiation patterns of pyramidal horns with impedance surfaces were also obtained. Discussions of using the code in accurate modeling of practical pyramidal horn antennas are also included. After the code for the analysis of the horn antennas with impedance materials is finalized, the synthesis problem will be examined in the coming research period.
