Modified Cylindrical Antenna Array for Maritime Applications

ABSTRACT: The article presents modifications of a cylindrical antenna array dedicated to a communication system in marine ap-plications. The possibilities of spatial filtration were investigated by simulation to obtain low sidelobe levels of the 20 dBc order. The results for different antenna elements were compared in terms of frequency filtration for the broadband ones. The optimal characteristics of the antenna system were determined taking into account the influence of the cross-ing level the each antennas radiation characteristics and the radius of their position.
