What You Should Know About Military Antennas

By Patty Goff


In professional satellite communications transmitters, it is common for a single antenna to work with two orthogonal polarizations simultaneously, so that the available bandwidth for the signal on the link is doubled (military antennas). To do this, standing next to one ortho-mode transducer feeder, which has a circular waveguide port connected to the horn and two orthogonal rectangular waveguide ports, each of which works in a different polarization.

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.

If the antenna is replaced by the radiation resistance, this would do their job, ie, would produce the same amount of power that the antenna would radiate. The radiation resistance is equal to the ratio of the power radiated by the aerial divided by the square of the current in its feed point. One could obtain an mast efficiency, given that is the ratio of the radiated power and the dissipated power.

You can also define the beam width between zero, which is the angular range of the main beam of a radiation pattern between two adjacent zeros to maximum. Create antennas radiated electromagnetic fields. Polarized electromagnetic defined in a certain direction, as the geometric shape that traces the edge of electric field vector at a certain distance from the antenna, to change the time.

The dimensions are generally a maximum wavelength. It is widely used in the bands of MF, HF, VHF and UHF. You can find wire antenna arrays. Examples of wire antennas are: the vertical monopole, the dipole and its evolution, the Yagi, loop antenna and the helical antenna is a special type of antenna that is used primarily on VHF and UHF. It describes a helix conductor, thereby producing a circular polarization.

The wire transmitters are analyzed from the electrical currents of the conductors. Aperture aerials are those that use surfaces or openings to direct the electromagnetic beam which concentrate their transmission and reception antenna system in one direction.
