Characteristics of Resonant Impedance Dipole Placed Inside Dihedral Corner Reflector

Abstract

The resonant values of impedance, uniformly distributed along a surface of a dipole, located in the bisector plane of a dihedral corner reflector with perfectly conducting faces of infinite sizes are calculated versus a dipole to corner distance S at different aperture corner angles. There are used the mirror image method and asymptotic expression for a current in a horizontal impedance dipole placed above an infinite ideally conducting plane. The field intensity and directive gains in the normal direction to a corner aperture and radiation resistances of the dipoles with different lengths were calculated depending on a spacing S, type and magnitude of dipole surface impedance. The characteristics of the resonant dipoles placed inside a corner reflector with different aperture angles are analyzed in detail.
