摘要
Near-field electromagnetic wave, which is radiated by tapered circular aperture antennas, has found more engineering applications in many diverse fields. Through the simulation of a reflector antenna whose efficiency is up to 51.4%, it can be found that the aperture distribution cannot be regarded as uniform distribution but as tapered distribution. Thus, expressions for near fields of uniform circular apertures cannot be applied to tapered circular aperture antennas in practical engineering. To alleviate such problems, near-field calculation formulas are proposed based on the Sommerfeld integrals with a steepest descent technique, which ensures the accurate and efficient analysis of the near field of the tapered circular aperture antenna. Also, near-field characteristics of tapered circular aperture antennas are displayed. The maximum difference of normalized near-field amplitudes between tapered and uniform distribution is 0.35 V/m. A 3-D near-field gain of circular aperture antennas is developed from the near-field radiation pattern. The proposed expression extends the range of calculation from the axial to more directions compared with the previous expression. Also, this expression is valid in both the near field and the far field. Using full-wave simulations, the results obtained from the proposed expression are compared with the simulated results. Also, the deviation in near-field gain is less than 0.3 dB, which indicates the convenience and effectiveness of our expression. The proposed near-field gain expression can be applicable to the near-field measurement and design of millimeter or terahertz radar systems that work in the near-field region.
