Abstract :
A new millimeter-wave omnidirectional antenna consisting of circular rod corrugations gloved with a dielectric shell is investigated with the rigorous mode matching method. Numerical results indicate that the circular dielectric shell greatly affects the leaky characteristics of the antenna and the leakage constant increases considerably. The effectiveness and reliability of the present analysis are verified by the theoretical and experimental results given in the literature.
