Broad-band Fermi antenna design method, design program, and recording medium containing the design program

摘要

There is provided a method for designing a corrugated Fermi antenna having a broad-band and circular directivity required for receiving an image by using a wave of millimeter order. As a first step, an inflection point of the Fermi-Dirac function as a taper function of the Fermi antenna is changed so as to set the beam width of plane H to a beam width having a target directivity. After the beam width of the plane H is set to the target value, the aperture width of the Fermi antenna is changed so as to set the beam width of the plane E to a beam width having a target directivity. Thus, by adjusting the beam width values of the planes H and E independently from each other and matching them with the target values, it is possible to design a Fermi-antenna having a broad-band and circular directivity in a short time.
