A Study of Axial Slot Arrays on a Circular Cylinder for Use on Electrically Small Vehicles.
Abstract
Radiation patterns produced by arrays of axial slots on a conducting cylinder are studied theoretically and experimentally to develop directive antenna systems for use on electrically small aircraft or missiles. The design of the array is mainly governed by the considerations of required field discriminations between various directions. A method has been developed for the design of a reduced-height waveguide cavity-backed slot which can be used as an individual radiating element of the array. Impedance and radiating properties of the slot element are studied and discussed.
