On Conditions for Constant Radiation Characteristics for Log-Periodic Array Antennas
Journal article, 2010

Wide frequency band antenna systems are required for many now and future applications, such as in radio astronomy and ultrawideband (UWB) technology. Constant radiation characteristics over a decade bandwidth are required for some of wide band applications, for example, feeds for reflector antennas in radio telescope. The log-periodic array antenna is one of the technologies for wideband antennas. In the present paper, an analysis on condition for constant radiation characteristics over wide bandwidth for a log-periodic array antenna is presented. From this condition, a guide rule for designing a wideband log-periodic array antenna is obtained. The Eleven antenna, a decade bandwidth log-periodic array antenna, is selected to illustrate the condition and verify the analysis in the paper.
