Solution For Optimizing A 3 D Array/Antenna Pair Conformal With A Surface

Abstract: ABSTRACT The invention relates to a method for designing an array of N antennas arranged on a metal surface, substantially omnidirectional in terms of direction of arrival and in terms of polarization within a frequency band having a minimum frequency fmin and a maximum frequency fmax, with N greater than 1, comprising the following steps: - a step (601) of determining K antenna configurations having different geometric characteristics, satisfying a gain differential constraint over the frequency band [fmin, fmax] and a gain variation constraint in the main lobe of the antenna, - a step (602) of computing, for each antenna configuration, at least one antenna array configuration, the orientations of which are chosen so as to favour omnidirectionality in terms of polarization, and the positions of which are chosen so as to favour omnidirectionality in terms of direction of arrival, - a step (603) of selecting the one or more best antenna configuration/antenna array configuration pairs.
