Multidisciplinary Optimization of Microwave Antennas

Abstract

The microwave antennas mentioned in this paper include microwave reflector antenna, plate slot-array antenna and active phased array antenna, in which the fields of electromagnetic, structural deformation and temperature interrelate or interact with each other. This interrelationship is, in this manuscript, called the multi-field coupling problem of microwave antenna. To design microwave antenna with high performance, it is significant to establish the field-coupling model and understand the coupled mechanism of these three fields radically. This thesis aims to illuminate the solution strategies and methods of field-coupling theoretical model, based on which, the multidisciplinary optimization model will be set up.
