How to design log periodic antenna

[vanishri]

I want to design LPDA at lowest frequency 300MHz and highest 700MHz. can any1 help me.?

 

[bbgil]

hope this helps. from the ARRL handbook. LPDA antenna design

**broken link removed**

 

[vanishri]

I understood procedure but not still clear about spacing between feeder, whats the equation for spacing to find.?

 

[amihomo]

I'm designing a printed LPDA, my question is how to choose the width of the antenna boom? is there any formula or relation between boom width and the widths of the dipoles?

 

[ferdows]

this software design LPDA antenna

 

[amihomo]

this program is for the conventional LPDA antenna. I need some design equations for calculating the widths of dipoles and the boom of the antenna.

 

[ferdows]

this software calculate the boom and widths of antenna

dear friend
on your design you have toe , sigma and R........toe 0.8-0.95 sigma 0.05-0.2 R 50 or 75 ohms
first- calculate za =60 ln{ (16 k toe sigma)/[pi (1+toe)]}
k is average ratio of elements LENGTH to DIAMETER.for better resault you may slim elements to be constant k.
ln is natural logarithm.
second- x={R(1+toe)/(32 sigma toe za)}
zo=R[x+square (x power2 +1)]
zo is the characteristic impedance of boom line.
if you use round tube diameter d and distance between centers D....zo=276 log (D/d)
if you use square tube side a equivalent diameter is 1.06 a
so if you choose tube you will find separation between them.you are free to ask more. juji tabrizi
