It is well known that unipole (or monopole) and slot antennas can be

used to detect electric and magnetiefielasrespectively. An antenna system

comprising a suitabZe arrangement of these two types of antennas can therefore

be expeeted to yield characteristics which would not be attainable if etther

type is used alone, This paper diseusses the principles of operation and '

applications of two slot-unipole (or monopole) antenna systems. The antenna

itself consists of a unipole (or monopold) and two slots mutually perpendicuiar

to one another. It will be shown that, togethet a suitable processing eircuitry,

the antenna can be made (A) to serve as a reeeptor of electroniagnetic energy

density, or (B) to yield a cardioid pattern £vith an adj'ustable'null loeation.

Both of these two features have important practical applications.'

rk PARTA ENERGYDENSITYANTENNA

I. TNTRODUCTION

First of all, we would like to explain about the conibination of

slot-untpole antenna system and its proeessing circuit, as shown in Ftg. 1

and 2. In Fig. 2, the output of the suTnming amplifier is proportioned to

the energy density of the wave intercepted by the slot-unipole antenna

system. Therefore, this combination forms an energy density antennasystem

that samples the electromagnetie energy denstty in spaee.

Interferenee between incident and refleeted signals in mountainous

regions or cities with high buildings creates spatial standing-wave

patterns. As the electric field strength alone a standing wave may fluc-

tuate over a wide range, the output of a mobile antenna which responds

only to the electric field would fluetuate accordinglyand exhibit spat±al

fading as it moves about. Thts phenomenon constitutes a serious problem

in vehicle eommunication since at peints of a minimum eleetrie field in-

tensity the resultant signal may fall below the notse level and therefore

make eommunication impossible. Similar problems arise in radio communi-

cationwithandbetweenlowTg.lyingaircrafts.,. .. ..

J. R. Pieree has suggested the use of a three--antenna system whtch

consists of a verticai electric dipole or unipole responding to the elec--

t}ric field and a pa±r of loop antennas responding to two perpendicu!ar

eomponents of the magnetie field [1].

The elGctric field then has a z-eomponent, E = 2Ez; it can be detected by

a vertieal unipole. The inagnetic field, be±ng normal to the electrie field,

in general has both x- and y--components, H = iti{x + YHy. The crossed slots

shown in Fig. 1 will detect the H and H components [3]. Note that the xyreference axes in the'xy--plane are arbitrary, as an fi veetor in the xy-plane

antenna system has several advantages. First, a slot antenna can be rnatched

easily by an oEf-set feeder !ine. Second, a slot antenna is more suitable 'for installation in high-speed vehicles such as aircrafts. Third, the

coupling between the slots and the unipole antenna is very small. Fourth,

when the diameter of a quaTter-wavelength unipole equals one--half of the

slot width, the unipole and slot antennas have the sape frequency bandwidth

and the same impedance characteristics. . ' '

rV. XNTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

Xn vehicular eommunication we are interested in the variation of

stgnaX output as a function o£ vehicle motion. Zic is evident from (10)

and (11) that ithe response of both the energy-density antenna system and

the single verticaZ unipole depends on th(t) which is a functioft of the

instantaneous norrnal diseance of Che vehicle from the reflecting plane.

In addttion, W in (10) depends also on the angle O. [Irwo ±nteresting

limiting conditions can be noted immediately.

!. When vehic!e ruot±on is paraUe! to ehe cenducting plarte (wall):

a=O, th=koy is a constant, both W and WE are independent of t and

nhe signal output does not fluctuate in either case.

rk2. Wlten the incident wave is normal to the conducting plane :

¢=u/2 and, from (10), W=2A2eo which is a constant. Hence the

signal output from the enelFgy-density antenna system is constant

' and i.s independent of the magpitude or direction of vehicle

velo¢ity, wh"e WE remains a function o.f v,t, and ct.

In order to determine the range of signal variation and the fading

frequency, rkt is convenient to rewrite (10) and (11) as

' w=`'2A2e.[1-lij(1+cos2e)eos2e(t)] (12) 'and

1 WE x 2A2e. `: [1 - cos 2"(t)] . (Z3)

From (12) and (l3), we note fuTther the following results.

rk

No#e that (9), (10) and (Zl) are not useful for interprettng the situation

for ¢=O (which would make th(t)=O in (8))when the incident wave is parallel to the conducting plane. The reason is that there would be no reflection at ip=O. Obviously, neither W nor WE wouZd be zero for an incident wave

the range of maximum variation of W for aZl possible vehicie Zocation,

' V. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION

tt ' An energy-density antenna that samples the electromagnetic energy

density provides a way for combating the spatial fading phenomenon which

'is eneountered in vehicular communication. The principle of operation

and the advantages of a slots-and-unipole energy--density antenna system

have been discussed. Using a simple reflecting-plane model, the signal

output from the energy--density antenna system and that from a single

'unipole antenna are obtained as expressions which depend on the angle of

t/t±ncidence and the magnitude and the direction of vehicle velocity in a

general way. From these general express±ons the fading frequency and the

maximum range of output variat±on are found. The extent of aTnplitude

fluctuation for the energy-density antenna system is a:sifays srnaller than

that for th.e single antenna. When the incident wave ±s noumal to the

reflecting plane, the energy-d6nsity antenna yields a constant output

regardless of the magn±tude or direction of the velocity of the moving

vehicle.

Mn situations where there exist more than one reflecting wall or

mountain, the resultant Eield would be the sum of the ±ncident field and

two or more reflected fields.' Moreover, multiple refleetions may' occur,

making the problem more complicated. In the most general case, the

problem becomes a statistical one [1,2], and one can only discuss the

probal)ility distr±butions and average properties of the output signal.

NevertheleSs, the simplb model affords a f±rst--order analysis and an

understanding of the response characteristics of the energyAdens2ty

antenna system.

I. INTRODUCTION

By combining slot-monopole antennas with a processing circuit like

Fig. 1 and 2, we can make a unit that has a cardioid-shaped pattern that

is steerable without mechanical motion. Such antenna system has found

important applications in direction-finding [1].

II, PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

With the indtcated spherical coordinates in Fig. 1, the pattern of )t :'':'

the vertieal antenna is omnidirectional in ¢. For a quarter--wavelength

monopole over a condueting ground plane, the normalized pattern function

in any plane containing the z--axis is

slot 2 is excited wlth a cosinusoidaZ aperture field in the negative

x-direction. These chosen direetions are arbitrary and depend en how

the feed lines are conne¢ted to the slots.

tively before being combined with the output from the monopole. We

and the locus is a circle, shoicn dashed in Fig. 4. The pattern in the

xy-plane for vertically polarized Waves obta'ined with a monopole and

crossed masneti.e dipoles remains a true cardioid as it is steered

through space.

III. CHARACTERISTICS OF SYNTIIESIZED PATTERN

(17)

(18)

(19)

We now examine the synthesized patterm of the combined output of

the slo'trs--and-monopole antenna. S±nce Eo(e,¢) in Eq. (8) depends on

the angles e and O in a complicated way, it is expected that Eo as a

funetion of e in a constant--¢ plane will depend on the value of ¢. We

assume that ct1 and a2 are always adjusted so that a cardiotd--type pattern

is obtained in the xy--plane. The patterns in vertical planes with O=thnun

on one side and ¢=¢max on the other are plotted in Fig. 5 for several values

OE thnull. rt is interesting to note that the patterns differ very little as

110

ipnull is ehanged over a wide range. This near constancy in the vertical

pattern makes it an easy matter to estirnate the so-called 'tstandard wave

error'' [1] in direction-finding 'relative to the elevation angle of the

ineoming signal.

The pattern in the xy--plane for vertically polarized waves is the

pattern of importance in direction-finding. This is the graph of Eq,

(11) with the weighting factors ct1 and ct2 properly adjusted in accord--

ance with Fig. 4 to yield a pattern null. Several such patterns have

been plotted in Fig. 6. Ule note that the horizontal patterns are all

cardioid-like and that they are symmetrical with Tespect to the direc-

tion Df maximum signal for Onuu = OO, 450, and 900. At intermediate

values of Onun the pattern is slightly asyminetrical, although ¢max and

ipnull alWaYS occur in nearly opposite airections. Since the pattern of

a.half-xvavelength slot is・ more directive than that of a small loop u$ed

in the monopole-and--loops arrangement., sharper nulls are obtained than

the null of a true cardtoid. Sharper nulls mean more accurate direction-

finding.

In Fig. 7 the halE--power beaimvidth of the horizontal patte)rn is

plotted as a function of Onull. This beamtvidth is quite wide, being

nearly constant at 140e when the pattern is scanned between thnull = 30e

and 600. The narrow6st bearmrtdth of 1220 occurs when thnull = OO and 900q

When crossed magnetic dipoles are used in conjunction with a monopole to

obtain true cardioid patterns, a constant beamwidth of 1310 is obta±ned.

TMs is iitndieated by the dashed line in Fig. 7.

IV. CONCLUSION

tt A vertical monopole and two crossed slots form an antenna un±t

whose combined output can be proeessed to yield a cardioid-shaped hort--

zonta± pattern for vertically polarized waves. This cardioid--shaped

pattern is steerable in the azimuth direction by pToperly weighting the

'outputs of the crossed slots. The locus for determin±ng these weighting

factors for any desired null direction has been given. Both the shape

and the half--power beamuidth of the steerable pattern have also been ex--

amined. It appears that this combination antenna unit offers important

advantages in direetion-finding applications, especially at microwave

frequencies. It is also useful in situations where broad--beam Teeeption

coupled with ±nterference suppression in a part±cular direction is de-

sired. The direct±ve properties of such units suggest their pbssible use

as the elements in an antenna array.
