RFI REDUCTION BY CONTROL OF ANTENNA SIDELOBES

Abstract

Measurements and theoretical developments are presented for the far sidelobe or backlobe region of three basic antenna types: the horn antenna, the parabolic reflector antenna, and the Luneberg lens antenna. The application is for RFI reduction with emphasis on the use of radar absorber materials. A technique for design of nulls in the Fresnel Zone of an aperture antenna is described and numerical examples represented. This technique has potential RFI application.
