Effect of random surface errors on radiation characteristics of the side-fed offset Cassegrain antenna

In this paper the average power pattern of the side-fed offset Cassegrain (SFOC) dual reflector antenna is analyzed, and the effect of the random surface error on radiation characteristics of the antenna is introduced. Here, the random surface error is defined as the error of the standard reflector in its normal direction and the errors in a small zone of the reflector are considered as equal. We also assume that the phase error on the aperture led by the random surface error obeys a Gaussian distribution with zero mean, under which the expression of the average power pattern is deduced. Finally, the data related to the radiation characteristics of the antenna are calculated and the corresponding curves are presented. The obtained results can be used for the user to determine the manufacturing accuracy of the reflector of the SFOC antennas.

Rigorous full-wave analysis of the base-station antennas

Rigorous analysis of the Base-Station (BS) antennas with reflector is made in this letter. The wire-grid modeling of BS antenna is established. In order to improve the solution accuracy and efficiency, some efficient techniques such as three-term sinusoidal interpolation basis function and discrete wavelet transform are used. Numerical examples considered here are the typical vertically polarized and the dual-polarized BS antennas. The calculated results for the vertically polarized BS antenna are in good agreement with the measured data, which show that the analysis modeling used is accurate and reliable.

ANALYSIS OF MONOPOLE ANTENNA ON CIRCULAR DISC BY MODE MATCHING

Mode matching is used for the analysis of monopole antenna on circular disc, which is achieved by developing a novel model consisting of two artificial ground planes above and bellow the monopole antenna. Using this model, the input impedance is computed and compared with measured data reported in literatures, and excellent agreement is observed.
