Abstract
An easy-fabricating superdirective antenna with needlelike radiation in the microwave band is proposed for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The electromagnetic field of the superdirective antenna excited by an electric line source is calculated. The parameters of the superdirective antenna are obtained by optimization algorithms. A two-step optimization method is carried out to reduce the difficulty of fabrication. The mechanism of superdirectivity in the microwave band is explained briefly by traditional multilayered dielectric resonances. A machinable 10-layered superdirective antenna, using this method, is proposed. Unlike traditional superdirective antennas, the proposed antenna, after two-step optimization in this paper, has all-positive integral permittivities, which reduce the fabrication difficulty significantly.
