Abstract

This paper discusses the characteristics and effects of dielectric inner-supports on discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, and the verification has been performed by simulation. Several design parameters such as the thickness of the gap support, the position of the side support, and the thickness of the side support has been analyzed. The thickness of the gap support affected the reflection coefficient. An effect of the offset of the side support from the center was slight below 3 GHz and significant above 3 GHz. The thickness of the side support did not affect the reflection coefficient or the gain much. The performance of the fabricated discone antenna was in good agreement with the simulated results. This investigation of a dielectric support effects could be used to design a commercial discone antenna for broadband RF test chamber, focusing on electrical performance and mechanical stability.
