3D Array Element Design for Pattern Shaping

In this work, antenna arrays with tilted dipoles are investigated in terms of radiation and impedance properties. A spectral method of moments (MoM) was developed for the analysis of doubly-periodic arrays (i.e. periodic in both x and ydirections)<br/>with arbitrarily tilted dipole elements, in free space or in the presence of a backing...

An Array of Tilted Dipoles Loaded with Artificial Dielectrics with an Asymmetric Pattern

We present the design of an array of tilted dipoles loaded with artificial dielectrics, to achieve asymmetric radiation patterns. First, a simplified array element consisting of skewed stacked dipoles in the presence of a backing reflector is studied, by means of a dedicated spectral periodic method of moments (MoM). The analysis of the stacked...
