Basic Overview Of Military Antennas

By Patty Goff


A radio antenna (or just aerial) is a transducer that can send and receive radio waves (electromagnetic waves) designed for radio, TV, cell phones, radar or satellite. A radio antenna is a transducer with a usable efficiency can perform one or both of these energy conversions: marketable alternating electrical energy for transmission of radio wave energy. Marketable radio wave energy to alternating electrical energy (military antennas).

This parameter is defined as the ratio between the maximum radiated power in a geometric direction and power radiated in opposite direction. When this relationship is reflected in dB scale, the ratio F / B (Front / Back) is the difference in dB between the maximum radiation level and radiation level of 180 degrees. This parameter is especially useful when interference back is critical in choosing the antenna that we use.

A typical loop antenna is made of copper, in resonance with a variable capacitor when transmitting and can withstand high voltages. The transmission can take many amps and the voltage across the capacitor several kilovolts. Loops of copper are more effective than lower managers, due to the large flow. Loops are circular and more efficient than squares, an alternative is octagoner that are easier to manufacture.

Loops are only effective at resonance, and must therefore be geared to operate, high q, very narrow bandwidth. All within about 10 wavelengths (near field) of an antenna may affect its radiation patterns. An antenna is the most "sensitive" in its main cones, there where it has "gain" in a free field radiation pattern.

A transmitter with more than about 3 items are usually less sensitive in a circle slice perpendicular towards the main direction of a jet and therefore one can put antennas in close proximity to a base station. The distance between the antennas should be at least 1 / 2-1 of main wavelengths used. Further away than about 10 wavelengths (far field) affects largely the antenna radiation pattern, but it can affect radio propagation or radio broadcast.

There are three basic types of transmitters: wire, aperture and planar antennas. Also, clusters of these aerials (arrays) are usually considered in the literature as another basic type of antenna. Wire transmitters are variants whose radiating elements are wire conductors having a negligible section relative to wavelength employment.

Every day use of aerials to transmit and receive signals (data) throughout the world by millions of people is ordinary. General: Everything is connected without cables using in some degree antennas for the exchange of information (data). An aerial is a (metal wire) device designed for the purpose of emitting or receiving electromagnetic waves into free space. A transmitter antenna transforms electrical energy into electromagnetic waves, and a receiver performs the inverse function.

If, in each of these ports, a diplexer, which separates the frequency bands of emission and reception, it will be a feeder four ports with a single antenna will be able to send and receive both polarizations simultaneously placed. At other times, these antennas have only two ports, one for emitting a polarization and the other to receive the opposite polarization.
