Abstract

"The purpose of this thesis is to calculate and p lot the radiation patterns o f a ferrotron-loaded spiral antenna made of semicircles. In particular, this work is confined to a balanced spiral free to radiate in all directions.

The current distribution used in the evaluation of the vector potential is taken from a synthesized current obtained from experimental information on a ferrotron-loaded spiral antenna at a frequency of operation of 200 MC.

The calculated patterns of the spiral antenna are in general single lobed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the antenna. The beamwidth varies from 62° to I 540, showing a good directivity in a direction normal to the antenna.

The computations were performed on an IBM 1620 Digital Computer"--Abstract, p. ii
