Abstract :
This paper presents the investigation results on the effect of separate element dimensions on the radiation characteristics of coaxial X-band monopole antenna. In particular, the variations of monopole height, ground-plane dimensions, and monopole location relative to the ground plane are analyzed in details. Based on FDTD simulations a contribution of EM fields scattered by these elements in the radiation pattern formation has been shown. As a result, the regularities in the elevation angle of peak directivity changing have been determined.
