Approximate and strict methods for the calculation of rode angle antennas of microwave range

Abstract

Approximate and rigorous methods and results of calculations of electrical characteristics of rod arbitrarily curved antennas of the microwave range are investigated with the purpose of widening their varieties and increasing the accuracy of calculations of electrical parameters. An approximate calculation of the antennas is performed by the equivalent long line method, rigorous – by the integral equation method with respect to the distribution of the complex current at the antenna. An algorithm for the step-by-step development of curved rod antennas with included various concentrated loads and excitation nodes at arbitrary points are proposed. It is concluded that approximate methods are useful for a preliminary rough estimate of the input parameters of the antennas, and also as an initial approximation for their parametric synthesis and analysis. But strict methods can significantly expand the variety of studied antennas and improve the accuracy of calculations of their electrical parameters. A method is proposed for obtaining a stable solution of an integral equation by diagonalizing the matrix of coefficients of a system of equations. Basing on the results of the investigation of these antennas, new designs have been developed, a number of which have been introduced into production and operation. It is noted that for the first time in world practice the method of an integral equation described in this article for calculating such antennas has outpaced the development of known analogous methods and corresponding computer programs.
