Microwave/Parabolic Antennas

ECE123-C11

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
