Small-sized dipole antenna arrays above the grid reflector

Dipole antenna arrays with all-around azimuth looking are used in communication, radar and radio navigation systems. The perspective of further decrease in their sizes and mass is connected with insertion of the inductive impedance elements in the radiating branches of vibrators and realization of reflectors as grid structures. The results of analysis of the small-sized axisymmetrical radial and azimuthal dipole antenna arrays installed above the grid reflector are presented.
