Low-Profile Ultra-Wideband Directional Dipole Antenna as a Feed for Reflectors in Radio Telescopes
Paper in proceeding, 2016
In this paper, a small top plate is found useful to improve the impedance bandwidth of an ultra-wideband dipole antenna horizontally above a ground plane. A linearly-polarized prototype based on this new and simple design methodology can operate over nearly 3.5:1 bandwidth with return losses better than 10 dB, and with nearly stable radiation patterns, high BOR1 efficiency and aperture efficiency over the entire operating band.
