The "distortion" you're seeing is the sum of the fields from the two
antennas, which vectorally add to produce a total pattern. This is a "phased array". The pattern of a phased array depends on the relative phase and magnitude of currents in the elements (in your case, the antennas), the spacing between elements, and their relative orientations. So if you don't want to change antenna positions, the only alternative is to alter the relative magnitude and/or phase of the currents in the two. One source of information about this topic is Chapter 8 of the _ARRL Antenna Book_. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Rohit wrote: Hi all, I have placed 2 similar antennas (3 dB beamwidth = 90deg, Polarization= LHC) on a PEC box with a small spacing between the 2. Both antenna's are tilted and the first one is at 45deg and other at 135 deg from the horizontal so that both can cover 180 deg. With this setup, in the simulation result i am observing heavy distortion (about 10dB ripple or more) at 90 deg. What is the reason for this heavy distortion. Is there any way i can remove the distortion in the pattern without changing the antenna's position?? Thanks in advance, Rohit |
