Naval Postgraduate School Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the performance of an array antenna when it is installed on an complex structure, such as those that have unusual edge contours, curved surfaces, and mixed material composition. A dipole is used as the basic array element to study the effect of various changes in the array design parameters on the gain and sidelobe level. Data is generated using a computational electromagnetics code based on the method of moments. Among the issues addressed are the curvature of the array ground plane and shaping the ground plane edges to reduce wide angle sidelobes. 2012-08-09T19:17:22Z 2012-08-09T19:17:22Z 1997-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/7917 en_US Copyright is reserved by the copyright owner Monterey, California.
