A THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF VAN ATTA ARRAYS

Abstract

A scheme has been set up for an analytical investigation of an arbitrary Van Atta reflector. Each pair of antenna elements is represented by an equivalent circuit using equivalent x-circuits for the transmission lines. Reradiation from the elements and mutual impedances have been taken into account. The theory is illustrated with some numerical examples of a linear reflector consisting of four half-wave dipoles.
