Abstract
This paper treats an array antenna excited electromagnetically
by a feed probe through holes (aperture elements) on the upper
conductor as the radiating element in a tri-plate antenna configuration.
The impedance of the feed probe is analyzed by the induced electromotive
force (emf) method in the spectral domain with a periodic boundary
condition. The results are compared with the measured data. From
the numerical results, it is found that an impedance matching
between the probe and the radiating elements can be realized by
adjusting the probe length and that the resonant condition for
the antenna can be determined. Further, it is found that the impedance
of the strip line to the feed probe and the impedance of the feed
probe determine the input characteristics which become the operating
condition of the tri-plate antenna. The analysis results agree
well with the measured data so that the validity of the method
is confirmed. |
