Self-Complementary Antennas

Boris Levin

Abstract

The performance of a slot antenna situated on infinite conic metal surface with circular cross-section is shown to be similar to that of situated on the infinite flat metal surface. The proof is based on the transition from a V-shaped magnetic radiator to a double-sided slot cut in the mentioned surface. If, to simplify the design, metal and slot radiators are placed along the regular pyramid sides, the antenna performance changes but remains close to that of the self-complementary antenna. Flux density distribution over long line cross section is analyzed. The transition from the parabolic problem to the flat one is done.
