Antenna Current Calculation Based on Equivalent Transmission Line Model

This paper provides a new way for spatial current/field profiles for frequency-selective surface analytical approximation. It confirms that the per unit length radiation resistance of an equivalent transmission line model for line antenna has little influence on the normalized current distribution. The two-wire equivalent transmission line model (typically used for transmitting line antenna) is applied to the receiving line antenna. In this case, the corresponding incident field is decomposed into odd and even mode for asymmetric distribution. A one-wire equivalent transmission line model is then introduced for any antenna composed of relative narrow strips. The incident field does not need to be decomposed. According to the simulation, the transmission line loss has little influence on the current distribution.
