Abstract :
A log-periodic dipole array is considered as a broadband corner reflector feed. Theoretical considerations predict a rather high VSWR and a pattern performance which is frequency independent over only a limited frequency range. Experimental results bear out the predictions and help indicate the possible usefulness of this type of antenna.
