Design and Simulation of a Wide-Band LPDA

Article Preview

Abstract:

A reconfigurable wideband Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) is here in introduced. Built utilizing low cost it can cover frequencies from 0.2GHz to 2GHz, through the discrete adjustment of its elements. The gain of antenna in a given frequency band of operation can also be changed by the reconfiguration of its elements. The design, construction and testing processes are discussed and a performance analysis is made based on computer simulations. In this paper simulation software HFSS is used to get the optimization design of LPDA, and the simulation results are agree with the experimental dates appropriately.
