Method for integrating a "network" antenna into a different electromagnetic medium, and associated antenna

An array antenna (A) in a medium (M) comprises a plurality of radiating elements (ERT) ensuring the transition between the antenna and the medium, the reflectivity of each element depending on a parameter, the reflectivity of a first element being close to that of the medium, the reflectivity of a l...

Summary:An array antenna (A) in a medium (M) comprises a plurality of radiating elements (ERT) ensuring the transition between the antenna and the medium, the reflectivity of each element depending on a parameter, the reflectivity of a first element being close to that of the medium, the reflectivity of a last element being close to that of the antenna, the reflectivity parameter of the elements varying from one element to the next. A method comprises calculation of a path equal to the sum of the variations of the reflectivity from one element to the next element, optimization of the variation of the reflectivity parameter so that equivalent radar cross-section of the antenna is the lowest possible or the antenna best observes the radiation objectives, determination of the different elements as a function of said parameter, and simulation of the overall reflectivity and/or of the radiation of the antenna.
