Dubrovka R. Analisys of finite antenna arrays composed of axisymmetrical aperture radiating elements

In this work a new universal mathematical model of a finite antenna array composed of axisymmetrical longitudinally-irregular aperture radiating elements which are arbitrary layed on the infinite metal plane has been developed. Using moment method and Green's function the problems for the electrical field amplitude-phase distribution on the such array aperture and radiating characteristics of the arrays have been solved for the first time taking into account mutual coupling between array elements. Samples of the wideband, wide scanning angle antenna arrays and feed horns have been designed and experimentally investigated. Results were applied in the industry.
