TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of log-periodic dipole (LPD) antennas, which are compressed along the transmission-line axis, was studied both experimentally and theoretically, and it was found that compressed LPD antennas are efficient, of low gain, and frequency independent.
Abstract: The behavior of log-periodic dipole (LPD) antennas, which are compressed along the transmission-line axis, is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Compressed LPD antennas are found to be efficient, of low gain, and frequency independent. With compression, the radiation pattern approaches dipole-like behavior and the bandwidth increases slightly. It is also found that LPD antennas exhibit anomalous frequency-dependent behavior in narrow bands of frequencies ( \approx 1/8 of a log period in width) when a reactive termination is used and when the scaling factor \tau is below about 0.92-0.93.

TL;DR: In this article, a variable electro-optic Fresnel zone plate with a characteristic that varies as a function of an applied electric field is described, and means for applying to that medium an electric field whose intensity varies in a pattern of alternate high intensity and low intensity bands.
Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed including a variable electro-optic Fresnel zone plate having an electro-optic medium with a characteristic that varies as a function of an applied electric field, means for applying to that medium an electric field whose intensity varies in a pattern of alternate high intensity and low intensity bands, and means for demodulating radiation modulated by that characteristic of the medium to produce a Fresnel zone plate pattern of radiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate large reflector antennas including effects of primary reflector astigmatism and its measurement through diffraction, and show that the effect of the primary reflectors on the measurement of diffraction is negligible.

TL;DR: A conducting or absorbing ground clutter fence at least partly encircles an antenna to block electromagnetic energy in a horizontal band having a vertical height equal to one-half the diameter of the first Fresnel zone of the antenna and furthermore, a vertical portion thereof completely within the first fresnel zone as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unique unidirectional octave-bandwidth reflector type circularly polarized antenna is described which uses crossed parallel connected conical dipoles operated near second resonance.
Abstract: A unique unidirectional octave-bandwidth reflector type circularly polarized antenna is described which uses crossed parallel connected conical dipoles operated near second resonance. The impedance characteristics of the antennas together with added series reactances gives the desired approximately quadrature current relation between the two dipoles. The axial ratio does not exceed 2 to 1.
