Basic Overview Of Military Antennas

By Patty Goff


The antennas are characterized by a number of parameters. Radiation pattern is a graphic representation of radiation characteristics of an antenna according to direction (azimuth and elevation coordinates). Most often represent the radiated power density, but also can find diagrams or phase bias (military antennas). Considering the radiative pattern, we can make a general classification of types of antenna and we can define the directivity of a receiver (isotropic antenna, directional, bi-directional, omni).

Most radio aerials today is primarily designed to be able to send or receive radio waves in a narrow frequency band, for example. FM via VHF band II (87.5-108 MHz). Masts propagate / receives radio waves through coupling with the alternating magnetic field. These types of antenna are used for long-wave, medium-wave and short-wave up to about 6MHz. It is possible to realize antennas that operate according to this principle, up to 60 MHz.

This relationship also can be seen from another point of view, indicating how good the antenna in the rejection of signals from the rear. Rarely is really important, because the interference from the rear do not usually happen, but it can happen. The F / B ratio is not a very useful number because often varies greatly from one channel to another. Of course, if it is the radiation pattern, then the F / B is not needed.

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.

The antenna resistance is the sum of the transmission resistance and loss resistance. The antennas are called resonant when its input reactance vanishes. Beam is a radiation parameter, linked to a radiation pattern. May define the beam width at -3 dB, which is angular range within which the radiated power density is equal to half of maximum power (in main direction of radiation).

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.

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.
