TRANSREFLECTOR ANTENNA DESIGN BASED ON FLAT MULTILAYER TRANSREFLECTOR
The paper considers an embodiment of the antenna design based on a flat non‑axis‑symmetrical transreflector made by using multilayer printed circuit board technology. The construction principle of a flat non‑axis‑symmetrical transreflector by cutting it from the flat polarizing structure is given. The form of the flat multi‑layer non‑axisymmetric transreflector board is determined by the projection of the non‑axisymmetric parabolic transflector onto a plane perpendicular to the focal axis. An electrodynamic model of the antenna with a flat non‑axis‑symmetrical reflector to study the radiation characteristics in the UHF range was constructed. A comparative analysis of the radiation characteristics of antennas on the basis of planar multilayer axisymmetric and flat multilayer non‑axis‑symmetrical transreflectors was performed. A number of technological advantages of the developed flat structure over a non‑axis‑symmetrical parabolic transreflector due to use of the known technology of multilayer printed circuit boards is also described.
