Abstract
The Use of Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSSs) as Sensors Has Found Recent Success in the Structural Health Monitoring Realm. FSS Theory Assumes Infinite FSS Dimensions and Planewave Illumination. However, in Practice, an FSS Sensor is Finite, and the Illuminating Field Varies Across the Plane of the Sensor. as Such, it is of Interest to Reduce the Nonuniformity of the Incident Electromagnetic Energy Incident on the Sensor. to This End, This Work Explores the Modification of a Standard H-Plane Sectoral Horn through the Addition of a Ridge to Generate a Uniform Electric Field over a Specified Region of Interest. in Addition to This Modified Antenna, Standard Gain (Pyramidal) and H-Plane Sectoral Horns Were Also Considered for Comparison. the Results Show that Variation in the Electric Field Pattern is Reduced for the Modified Sectoral Horn but at the Cost of Matching Properties.
