Analytic antenna design for a dipole antenna

摘要

The present invention relates to an analytic antenna design for a dipole antenna by eliminating or reducing antenna pattern nulls and impedance anti-resonances.;In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method for designing a wide bandwidth includes the steps of defining a charge distribution in terms of at least one form factor related parameter where the Legendre polynomial expansion of the electrostatic potential is uniquely linked to each eigenmode of the wideband antenna, and modifying one or more eigenmodes of the wideband antenna by modifying the charge distribution and unique linked Legendre polynomial coefficient.
