Abstract

In this paper, W-type reflector antennas modified from corner reflector antenna structure were proposed and the radiation characteristics were analyzed using the method of moments. The analysis results such as gain, F/B, half power beamwidth, and radiation pattern are presented as functions of dipole height h and back edge spacing d. Also, the proposed antenna was compared with corner reflector antennas in the same size of side reflectors, W-type reflector antenna was found to exhibit somewhat higher gain and larger F/B than corner reflector antennas. To verify the analysis results, W-type reflector antenna was fabricated and the radiation characteristics were measured. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results.

본 논문에서는 코너 리플렉터 안테나 구조로부터 변형된 W형 리플렉터 안테나를 제안하고, 모멘트법을 이용하여 복사특성을 해석하였다. 해석결과로 W형 리플렉터 안테나의 다이폴 높이 h와 back edge 거리 d를 변화시켰을 때 복사특성인 이득, 전후방비, 빔폭, 복사패턴을 각각 나타냈다. 또한 W형 리플렉터 안테나와 동일한 크기의 side 반사판을 갖는 코너 리플렉터 안테나의 복사특성을 비교한 결과 W형 리플렉터 안테나가 코너 리플렉터 안테나에 비해 다소 높고, 전후방비가 큼을 알 수 있었다. W형 리플렉터 안테나를 실제 제작하고, 복사특성을 측정하여 계산결과와 비교하였으며, 측정결과는 계산결과에 거의 근접한 것으로 나타났다.
