I. Definition
The name Log Periodic is derived from the
geometry of antenna structure which is so chosen
that the electrical properties periodically repeat
with the log of frequency.
I. Definition
In telecommunication, a log-periodic
antenna (LP, also known as a log-periodic array)
is a broadband, multi element, unidirectional,
narrow-beam antenna that has impedance and
radiation characteristics that are regularly
repetitive as a logarithmic function of the
excitation frequency.
