Abstract :
Analysis of vibration effects on surface matched antenna is vital important topic for radar applications. Antenna parameters such as radiation pattern and return loss are obtained to be stable with under influence these vibration effects. In this study, vibration effects on antenna parameters has been observed for reducing it, modal analysis has been applied. The structural ruggedization is investigated to the related regions that are required to be modified after the first numerical analysis of the antenna, concluding in the optimization of the stiffness of the structure. Then, the physical model development tests and integration verification tests will be applied on the later design steps.
