Abstract:

A new type of collinear antenna called electromagnetically coupled coaxial dipole array antenna is proposed. The antenna has an advantage of structural simplicity due to a novel use of an electromagnetically coupled feed structure for the radiating element. An analysis of the radiating element is presented and compared with experimental results. Fabrication and measurement of a prototype array antenna are also presented.
