THE THEORY OF SINGLE-RING CIRCULAR ANTENNA ARRAYS
Abstract
A detailed treatment is presented of the singloring antenna array of identical, parallel dipoles. In the first chapter the boundary value problem describing the array is formulated in terms of simultaneous integral equations. It is shown that the introduction of symmetrical components reduces these to uncoupled inte ral equations, which can be solved by an iterative method. In the second chapter expressions for the terminal impedance are obtained, and an extensive set of tables giving numerical values of terminal impedance are given. In the third chapter a rigorous derivation is given of the radiation patterns of circular array. Methods are given for the synthesis of arbitrary patterns, and of directional patterns with equal side lobes. (Author)
