CORRUGATED AND UNIFORM DIELECTRIC ROD AERIAL EXCITED IN Eo-MODE

Abstract

Expressions for the radiation pattern and gain of uniform and corrugated dielectric rod aerial excited in E0-mode have been derived. The position, and number of lobes, beam width and relative magnitudes of lobes are fuuctions of the spacing and depth of grooves. The radiation characteristics also depend on length, diameter and dielectric constant of the aerial.
