Computer modeling of a log-periodic antenna

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5196660
A computer model of a six-element log-periodic antenna is described and operated in both the time and frequency domains to calculate antenna input impedance, forward and backward incident-field transfer functions, and transient response characteristics. Computed results are compared with experimental test data to demonstrate the model's reliability. Additionally, the model is used to assess the antenna's coupling to an incident EMP wave to provide a practical illustration of the model's utility and to indicate its potential for further development.
