Investigations into a power-combining structure formed by trays of uniplanar quasi-Yagi antennas

Theoretical and experimental investigations are performed into a power combiner formed by trays of uniplanar quasi‐Yagi antennas. A single tray consisting of two back‐to‐back antennas and then five‐tray and seven‐tray structures operating at Ku‐band are developed and tested. Using pyramidal horn ant...

Description
Summary:Theoretical and experimental investigations are performed into a power combiner formed by trays of uniplanar quasi‐Yagi antennas. A single tray consisting of two back‐to‐back antennas and then five‐tray and seven‐tray structures operating at Ku‐band are developed and tested. Using pyramidal horn antennas to distribute and combine microwave power, experiments are performed with respect to return loss, insertion loss, and field uniformity across the trays. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
