초록

본 논문은 방향탐지용 Low-VHF 대역 소형 안테나의 탱크 장착 위치에 따른 방사특성에 관한 연구이다. 먼저, 안테나를 평면 접지면상 장착시, 다음으로 탱크 위 장착시 방사특성에 대하여 각각 시뮬레이션(40MHz)과 1/10 축소된 모델에 대하여 제작 측정(400MHz)으로 확인하였다. 평면 접지면상 장착시 급전점이 ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$(xz-면)에 위치할 경우, yz-면 성분(H-면)과 xz-면 $E_{\theta}$ 성분(E-면) 방사패턴이 좁은 접지면의 영향으로 상반구상 무지향성 방사 특성을 유지함을 확인 하였다. 다음으로 탱크 장착시에도 평면 접지면상 장착시 방사특성과 동일하게 상반구상에서 yz-면 $E_{\phi}$ 성분(H-면)과 xz-면 $E_{\theta}$ 성분(E-면) 방사패턴 모두 장착위치에 거의 영향이 없는 상반구상 무지향성 방사 특성을 나타내었다. 이로써, 제안된 방향탐지용 소형 안테나를 탱크에 장착 할 경우, 급전점을 접지면이 좁은 xz-면(E-면)에 위치시킨다면, 방향탐지용 안테나로써 보다 안정적인 방사특성을 유지함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a study on the radiation characteristics of low-VHF band electrically small antenna for direction finding. Firstly, it is simulated the antenna for mounting on flat ground and tank model(in 40MHz), and measured for mounting 1/10 scaled model(in 400 MHz). In case of flat ground feed at ${\phi}=0^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$(xz-plane), yz-plane $E_{\phi}$ (H-plane) and xz-plane $E_{\theta}$ (E-plane) radiation patterns are hemispheric omni-direction due to effect of narrow ground side. Then, in case of tank model, it is shown equally in case of the flat ground, yz-plane $E_{\phi}$ (H-plane) and xz-plane $E_{\theta}$ (E-plane) radiation patterns are hemispheric omni-direction nearly without effect of mounting position. Therefore, the suggested electrically small antenna for direction finding, in case of mounting on ground narrow side xz-plane(E-plane), is shown more stable radiation patterns as direction finding antenna.
