Radiation from a dielectric coated conducting circular cylinder buried in a conducting corner (tm case)

The paper presented a new design of a corner reflector antenna, fed through a dielectric coated slotted cylinder. An exact solution to a two dimensional problem is developed using the modal expansion solution for TM case. Computer program was developed to evaluate the radiation pattern, aperture conductance, and antenna gain. This antenna structure finds many applications on ships and airplanes in which the antenna is buried at corners of horizontal and vertical conducting planes. The radiation from this antenna showed many new features, which could not be achieved by the conventional corner reflector antenna.
