Title: LPDA Tile Design

 

We have developed a design for a log periodic antenna (LPDA) tile that will be used at the Gauribidanur observatory. The tile comprises 64 lightweight dual-polarized antennas that are mounted onto an aluminium extrusion frame in groups of four LPDAs. By repeating these groups 16 times, we form the final tile structure. The LPDAs in the tile are held in place using the aluminium and steel extrusions in a specific manner. This poster presents all the mechanical dimensions required to build the tile, including the arrangement of the 64 LPDAs in the tile.
