Abstract

In the recent couple of decades, some multifunctional spaceborne active radars had been launched. Those radars used to be broadband radars using dipole transmitting antennas. The odd-order resonant frequency of the antenna does not completely cover the operating frequency of the entire radar, so this may cause the antenna's radiation efficiency to deteriorate. The typical method to solve this problem was to design an impedance matching network system for broadband antennas to achieve a good voltage standing wave ratio and transmit power gain. In this paper, a new optimized real-frequency method was designed, and a 0.4-meter dipole antenna was tested before and after impedance matching. The measured results showed that the impedance matching network obtained by the optimized real-frequency method proposed in this paper can improve the antenna radiation efficiency, and can effectively reduce the standing wave ratio to avoid damage to the transmitter caused by high echo power.
