A STUDY OF THE SLOT TRANSMISSION-LINE AND SLOT ANTENNAS. PART 3 AN INVESTIGATION OF CURRENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN A YAGI ARRAY OF SLOT ANTENNAS PART 4 A STUDY OF LOCAL EFFECTS ON A YAGI ARRAY OF SLOT ANTENNAS ON CURVED SURFACES,
Abstract
By way of Babinet's principle the Yagi antenna is studied in detail with a slot-antenna model. Current magnitude and phase on idividual elements are measured for various element lengths and element spacings. A series of experiments are performed to highlight the interaction phenomena between an individual element and its neighbors. Termination effects are studied for an 18-element array with elements one-third of a wavelength in length and with various element spacings. A study of local effects on a Yagi array of slot antennas on curved surfaces is made in order to give insight into the propagation of so-called surface waves along such finite periodic structures. In conclusion, an analytic technique is offered as a guide to understanding the Yagi. (Author)
