Lecture18 PDF

1) The document discusses computing field quantities like E and H from surface currents on apertures using equivalent magnetic and electric surface currents. 2) It provides the final equations for the magnetic vector potential A and electric vector potential F in terms of the surface currents in the far-field approximations. 3) The far-field expressions for the E and H fields are given in terms of the vector potentials and integrals involving the surface currents over the aperture area. Once E and H are known, other antenna parameters can be determined.

3.3. Computation of field quantities:


As the current densities obtained in the above three case radiate into an unbounded medium,
these can be used to compute fields in half-space as excited by apertures. The field behind S is
assumed know. This is enough to define equivalent surface currents. The process of finding the
field E and H is the same that has been adopted for wire antennas, in the previous chapters.
Because of this reason, here we will not discuss the entire derivation, but instead provide the
final equations.
From surface currents JS and MS, we get

In the far-field we take the following approximations:

Using equation (3.5) and (3.6) in equations (3.3) and (3.4), yields

Once we have the far-field E and H, the other parameters of the aperture antenna can be found
out.
