Initial designing a dual-band antenna baced on end-fed dipole-like radiators for digital antenna arrays
The paper deals with the designing of the initial arrangement for dual-band antennas comprising two parallel dipole-like radiators as the drivers for the mentioned antenna. The excitation of the drivers is provided by the source of the induced electromotive forces (EMF), whose outputs are attached to the remote terminals of the radiators. The paper also provides the key electrodynamic characteristics of the structure under research for the following procedure of multi-parametric nonlinear optimization. In addition, on the basis of the induced EMF method, has been obtained the expressions for the far-field zone (Fraunhofer zone) characteristics with taking into account the parasitic currents on the radiating bodies of the dipole, which allows more accurate design of the initial topology of the antenna.
