Abstract
Arrays are the most versatile antenna configurations whose geometrical arrangement and number of elements, including spacing, amplitude and phase excitation between the elements, can be used to control the overall radiation characteristics, including directivity, beamwidth and side lobe level. While arraying dates back to near 1900, modern antenna designs and advancements, including some classic designs, were initiated in the 1920s. Few of these designs, including some of their radiation characteristics, will be highlighted in this paper; others are discussed and found in the references.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
