Analysis of a horn-lens TEM antenna
Tóm tắt
Matching and radiation characteristics of a horn-lens TEM antenna are studied theoretically and experimentally in an ultra-wide frequency band. Theoretical results are obtained by means of electromagnetic modeling on the basis of the finite-element method. Antennas with different geometries of the lens and different methods of excitation of the TEM horn are considered. Direct excitation by a coaxial line and excitation with the use of a smooth transition from a coaxial line to a stripline are studied. The results of calculations are compared with experimental results.
