LOG PERIODIC DIPOLE ARRAY WITH PARASITIC ELEMENTS

Abstract

The design and measured characteristics of dipole and monopole versions of a log periodic array with parasitic elements are discussed. In a dipole array with parasitic elements, these elements are used in place of every alternate dipole, thereby eliminating the need of a twisted feed arrangement for the elements to obtain log periodic performance of the anntenna. This design with parasitic elements lends itself to a monopole version of the antenna which has a simplified feeding configuration. The result is a log periodic antenna design that can be used from high frequencies through microwave frequencies.
