ANALYSIS OF STACKED PATCH ANTENNA ARRAY ON CYLINDER USING GREEN'S FUNCTIONS OF THE LAYERED DIELECTRIC STRUCTURE

摘要

The problem of radiation from a cylindrical multilayered dielectric structure excited by an arbitrary current distribution is formulated and solved. Axial electric and magnetic field components are expressed with equivalent voltages and currents of E and H-lines. The layered dielectric structure is described with 4-port transmitting matrices. Energy exchange on the each boundary between layers is expressed with 4-port boundary transmitting matrices. Suggested method was used for 4-element stacked patch antenna array design and analysis. The antenna array is placed on the conducting cylinder with tree dielectric layers. The impedance and radiation properties of the antenna array are shown.
