Compact Shaped Antennas for Wide-Band Radiogoniometry

摘要

In this paper, a wide band monopole antenna with a shaped profile is presented. Shaped profile and end-caps allow for a compact antenna with respect to wavelength. Antenna is designed to be as isotropic as possible and with low phase deviation from spherical wave front to allow accurate detection of the direction of arrival of an unknown signal when used in radiogoniometry applications.
