凸表面上天线间互耦的射线分析法

Ray analysis of mutual coupling between antennas on a convex surface

本文给出了在电尺寸很大的理想导体光滑凸表面上,无限小磁矩或电矩在空间产生的电磁场的近似渐近解,利用该解可以准确有效地计算凸表面上天线间的互耦。此解中,表面塌沿Keller的表面射线路经传播,且在阴影边界过渡区域,包括对于源的邻城,它们仍然一致适用。除此之外,在给出的解中,通过一个系数T/K给出了关于表面场的表面射线绕曲的影响,其中,T表示表面射线的绕曲,K表示射线方向上的表面曲率。该解是由简单的典型问题的近似解导出的。给出了圆柱面和圆锥面上裂缝间互耦的数字结果,它与实验结果相吻合。

An approximate asymptotic solution is presented for the electromagnetic fields which are induced on an electrically large perfectly conducting smooth convex surface by an infinitesimal magnetic or electric current moment on the same surface. This solution can be employed to calculate the mutual coupling between antennas on a convex surface in an efficient and accurate manner. In this solution, the surface fields propagate along Keller's surface ray paths, and their description remains uniformly valid within the shadow boundary transition region including the immediate vicinity of the source. Furthermore, the effect of surface ray torsion on the surface fields is indicated in the present solution, through a factor T/k, where T denotes the surface ray torsion and k is the surface curvature in the ray direction. This solution is deduced from the asymptotic solutions to simpler canonical problems. Numerical results for the mutual coupling between slots in cylinders and cones are presented, and are shown to compare very well with experiments.
