| description | This article presents a brief evaluation and discussion of eight proposed printed log-periodic dipole array (PLPDA) antennas that have been introduced in the last decade for EMC applications. These proposed antennas could serve as reference antennas for radiation and immunity tests inside the EMC chamber. Step-by-step design procedures have been detailed with various feeding methods, showing their effect on the wideband characteristic compared to the design complexity. Different miniaturization and bandwidth improvement methods have been utilized to tackle the size reduction and bandwidth enhancement goals. Furthermore, the comprehensive view of the specifications of the reference antenna design inside the EMC chamber has been explained in detail, which presents the motivation for using a printed antenna rather than the classical one for these applications. The achievements of the presented designs have been listed, compared, and discussed with the classical LPDA antenna (HyperLOG 7060) offered for sale. Finally, a brief conclusion presents the recommendations for the design and analysis of the PLPDA antenna for EMC measurements. |
