Abstract :
Using the GTD method, the author has calculated the dependencies of maximum gains of the 90/spl deg/ corner antenna, excited by a half-wave dipole on its position within the corner, when changing widths and heights of the corner from 0.5/spl lambda/ to 6/spl lambda/. The optimal corner sizes providing maximum gains at each dipole position were determined. The efficient algorithm allows one to carry out the corresponding analysis of the gain for the corner with an arbitrary apex angle.
