INFINITE PHASE DIPOLE ARRAY,

Abstract

By means of the Poisson sum formula and an integral-equation technique an accurate solution for an infinite phased dipole array is obtained. The elements of the array are spaced uniformly and are excited with progressively increasing phases. The technique can be applied to an infinite collinear array and to an infinite planar array either in free space or over a ground plane. The integral equation is solved both by a Fourier method and by an approximate five-term procedure. It is found that the latter is as good as the former. The current distributions and the active admittances are investigated. (Author)
