Description
Summary:A novel printed circuit realization of a dipole radiating integrated module (RIM) is combined with the method of moments. Practical application is illustrated through the optimization of a dipole RIM input VSWR. Experimental results are presented for 2.8 GHz microstrip radiating element capable of performing a turnstile antenna as well as a phased array. The peak cross-polarization level in the upper hemisphere is at least 12 dB below the peak co-polarization level.
