Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The high frequency (HF) band is frequently used in over-the-horizon observation. By using HF band, antenna aperture usually gets large, so that the downsizing of an antenna aperture is one of the challenging themes. One solution to this problem is to adopt a superdirective array antenna. However, if a superdirective array is in use, active reflection caused by mutual coupling increases, because of the dense allocation of antenna elements. This paper reports a study on a superdirective array for a HF band receive antenna. In this paper, mutual couplings are taken into account, by using the FDTD method, to quantitatively evaluate the antenna transmission factor. The simulation results show that even if the antenna transmission factor increases, SNR deterioration is still a small amount. In addition, this paper proposes the antenna configuration to reduce sidelobe levels, without enlarging an antenna aperture. From these discussions, we have confirmed that the superdirective array is capable for a HF band receive antenna.
