Analysis of a Cylindrical Dielectric Radome Covering Omnidirectional Waveguide Slot Antennas
关键词:
Slot antenna, radiation pattern, method of moments, and radome摘要
In this paper, the method of moments (MoM) is
employed to solve the elect romagnetic field integral
equation for characterizing slotted waveguide antenna
covered by a dielectric radome. Different from those
existing practical examples discussed in literature, these
structures consist of mixed conducting and homogeneous
dielectric objects. Both basis functions and testing
functions are chosen as the well-established
Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. Effects of the
radome on the slotted antenna’s radiation patterns are
analyzed and discussed.
