STUDY OF THE TOPOLOGY OF THE VIVALDI ANTENNA WITH A MIRROR ARRANGEMENT OF THE PETALS

Objectives. In work questions of a research of topology of the antenna of Vivaldi with a mirror arrangement of petals are considered.

Method. By modeling in the program CST MicroWave Studio environment collecting necessary data, in particular dependence of width of the directional pattern on curvature and a distance from the middle of the top part of the antenna to the petal antenna petals is carried out.

Result. Graphic dependences of curvature of petals and size of a distance from the middle of the top part of the antenna to the petal on directional pattern width in two planes for various frequencies are constructed. Approximation of the received dependences for two planes θ = 90⁰ (the antenna plane) and φ = 0⁰ is carried out (the plane perpendicular the antenna planes). The equations of the approximating curves for various frequencies are received. The analysis of change of curve dependences of curvature of petals and width of a distance from the middle of the top part of the antenna to the petal from directional pattern width upon transition from one frequency is carried out to another. The dependence of the standing wave ratio (VSWR) of the antenna on teflon thickness is investigated. The dependence of a strip of working frequencies on the sizes of the antenna is investigated.

Conclusion. Dependences of topology of the antenna on directional pattern width on the range of frequencies of the antenna are revealed. Problems of construction and optimization of model of the set characteristics are solved. The mathematical model allowing depending on the set frequency and width of the directional pattern is received to receive necessary topology of petals of the antenna.
