Microwave Antenna
Antennas that use parabolic reflectors
Microwave Antenna
Antennas that use parabolic reflectors They have high directivity Function is similar to a flashlight Produces high gain output Produces the narrowest beam widths Used for point to point communications
Microwave Antenna
Applications: Microwave relay/transmission Wireless Network Satellite Communications Radio Telescopes
Microwave Antenna
Types(Feed):
Microwave Antenna
Types(Shape): Parabolic Cylindrical Shaped-beam
Microwave Antenna
Gain:
Where: A= Antenna aperture d=diameter of parabolic reflector (if parabolic) = Aperture efficieny(constant)
Microwave Antenna
Gain:
Where: A= Antenna aperture d=diameter of parabolic reflector (if parabolic) = Aperture efficieny(constant)
Microwave Antenna
Beamwidth: The angular width of the signal radiated by the antenna
Where: k= constant depending on the shape and feed illumination pattern d=diameter of parabolic reflector (if parabolic)
Microwave Antenna
Gain derived from beamwidth:
Where: k= constant depending on the shape and feed illumination pattern =beamwidth
