A Direction-Finding Antenna Inserted into the Surface of Cylindrical Conductor Body

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this letter, a direction-finding (DF) antenna inserted into the surface of a cylindrical conductor body, with the conductor material in front of the antenna, is presented. To minimize a gain reduction in the axis direction of the cylindrical conductor, an aperture of an openended waveguide antenna is modified, and the conductor body is deformed. The antenna is operated at the X-band, and its direction finding performance using an amplitude comparison method is analyzed. To verify the validation of the performance of the antenna, the analyzed results are compared to the measurement results.
