  • ANTENNAS for LOW POWER APPLICATIONS Basic Full
    ANTENNAS FOR LOW POWER APPLICATIONS By Kent Smith Introduction: There seems to be little information on compact antenna design for the low power wireless field. Good antenna design is required to realize good range performance. A good antenna requires it to be the right type for the application. It also must be matched and tuned to the transmitter and receiver. To get the best results, a designer should have an idea about how the antenna works, and what the important design considerations are. This paper should help to achieve effective antenna design. Some Terms: Wavelength; Important for determination of antenna length, this is the distance that the radio wave travels during one complete cycle of the wave. This length is inversely proportional to the frequency and may be calculated by: wavelength (cm)=30000 / frequency (Mhz). Groundplane; A solid conductive area that is an important part of RF design techniques. These are usually used in transmitter and receiver circuits. An example is where most of the traces will be routed on the topside of the board, and the bottom will be a mostly solid copper area. The groundplane helps to reduce stray reactances and radiation. Of course, the antenna line needs to run away from the groundplane. dB, or decibel; A logarithmic scale used to show power gain or loss in an rf circuit. +3 dB is twice the power, while -3 dB is one half. It takes 6 dB to double or halve the radiating distance, due to the inverse square law. The Basic Antenna, and how it works. An antenna can be defined as any wire, or conductor, that carries a pulsing or alternating current.

  • 3794 Series Granger Wideband Conical Monopole Antennas
    3794 Series Granger Wideband Conical Monopole Antennas ● 2-30 MHz Bandwidth permits Frequency change without antenna tuning ● Up to 25 KW average power rating ● 50 Ohm input provides 2.0:1 nominal VSWR without impedance transformers ● Single tower ● Short, medium, long-range communications General Description The Model 3794 series antenna is a vertically polarized, omnidirectional broadband antenna for transmitting or receiving applications. It is designed for high power area coverage. The 3794 Wideband Conical Monopole Antenna is an inverted cone- like structure with it’s apex pointing downwards. The array is supported by a 17 inch (431 mm) face steel guyed tower and consists of a number of evenly spaced radiator wires. The radiators spread out from the tower top to an outer guyed catenary then converge back down at the tower base. The antenna is fed at the apex of the cone through a 50 ohm coaxial connector. A ground screen is laid over the area below the antenna and consists of a radial pattern of wire laid on the ground with it’s centre at the apex of the antenna. The radiating elements of the array are prefabricated to facilitate installation. All radiators are manufactured from aluminum clad steel wire for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. The mechanical arrangement provides high strength while keeping both manufacturing and installation costs to a minimum. Application The 3794 Wideband Conical Monopole Antenna Series provides a cost effective solution for the vertical omnidirectional antenna if the reduced ground area offered by the 1794 Monocone is not required. The broad frequency range permits use of the optimum frequency for any distance.

  • An Electrically Small Multi-Port Loop Antenna for Direction of Arrival Estimation
    c 2014 Robert A. Scott AN ELECTRICALLY SMALL MULTI-PORT LOOP ANTENNA FOR DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL ESTIMATION BY ROBERT A. SCOTT THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Jennifer T. Bernhard ABSTRACT Direction of arrival (DoA) estimation or direction finding (DF) requires mul- tiple sensors to determine the direction from which an incoming signal orig- inates. These antennas are often loops or dipoles oriented in a manner such as to obtain as much information about the incoming signal as possible. For direction finding at frequencies with larger wavelengths, the size of the array can become quite large. In order to reduce the size of the array, electri- cally small elements may be used. Furthermore, a reduction in the number of necessary elements can help to accomplish the goal of miniaturization. The proposed antenna uses both of these methods, a reduction in size and a reduction in the necessary number of elements. A multi-port loop antenna is capable of operating in two distinct, orthogo- nal modes { a loop mode and a dipole mode. The mode in which the antenna operates depends on the phase of the signal at each port. Because each el- ement effectively serves as two distinct sensors, the number of elements in an DoA array is reduced by a factor of two. This thesis demonstrates that an array of these antennas accomplishes azimuthal DoA estimation with 18 degree maximum error and an average error of 4.3 degrees.

  • The 3-D Folded Loop Antenna
    The 33---DD Folded Loop Antenna Dave Cuthbert WX7G Introduction This article will introduce you to an antenna I call the 3-Dimensional Folded Loop. This antenna is the result of my continuing efforts to compact full-size antennas by folding and bending the elements. I will first describe the basic 3-DFL and then provide construction details for the 2-meter and 10-meter 3-DFL antennas. Here are some features of the 3-DFL: • Reduced height and footprint • Full-sized antenna performance • Wide bandwidth • Ground independent • Can be built using standard hardware store parts Description The 3-D Folded Loop, or simply the 3-DFL, is a one-wavelength loop that is reduced in height and width by being folded into three dimensions. A 28-MHz loop that is normally 9 feet on a side becomes a box-shaped antenna that is 3 by 3 by 5 feet. It exhibits performance that is competitive with a ground plane yet requires only 15 square feet of ground area versus 50 for the ground plane. So, compared to a ground plane it is only 60% as tall and has a footprint only 30% as large. And the 2-meter 3-DFL is so compact it can be placed on a table and connected to your HT for added range and reduced RF at the operating position. 1 3-DFL Theory of Operation The familiar one-wavelength square loop is shown in Fig. 1 and is fed in the center of one vertical wire. Note that the current in the vertical wires is high while the current in the horizontal wires and is low.

  • The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is It Any Good?
    The Classic Rain-Gutter Loop Antenna – Is it any Good? A simple technical look at an HF horizontal loop of wire strung around your house at rain-gutter height, plus. some novel loop disguise techniques. By John Portune W6NBC Compromise disguise antennas are no strangers to hams, especially on HF. But which ones are worth the effort? We often just put them up and hope for the best. But when I moved to a CC&R restrictive mobile home park recently, I wanted better answers, particularly for the classic rain-gutter loop, Figure 1. I couldn’t put up more of an HF antenna without the neighbors noticing. But was it any good, or only little more than a dummy load? Figure 1: Classic rain-gutter-height loop, elevated on standoffs (stylized for emphasis) To find out, I challenged the rain-gutter loop with EZNEC antenna modeling software. This required best-case and worst-caswe models to encompass most house variables: (1) two loop heights, (2) two house types and (3) several bands. These would place most houses somewhere within these limits. Loop heights were: 10 ft. (rain-gutter height) and 25 ft. (a more conventional loop height). House types were: all wood (best case) and stucco/chicken wire (worst case). Bands were: 40M, 20M and 10M. Why didn’t I include 80M and 160M? Well, I did at first, but right up front, EZNEC revealed something very important about horizontal loops – Rule of Thumb 1. RULE OF THUMB 1 To be efficient, a closed loop must have a perimeter greater than one wavelength (1λ) on the lowest band in use.

  • 3.1Loop Antennas All Antennas Used Radiating Elements That Were Linear Conductors
    SECX1029 ANTENNAS AND WAVE PROPAGATION UNIT III SPECIAL PURPOSE ANTENNAS PREPARED BY: MS.L.MAGTHELIN THERASE 3.1Loop Antennas All antennas used radiating elements that were linear conductors. It is also possible to make antennas from conductors formed into closed loops. Thereare two broad categories of loop antennas: 1. Small loops which contain no morethan 0.086λ wavelength,s of wire 2. Large loops, which contain approximately 1 wavelength of wire. Loop antennas have the same desirable characteristics as dipoles and monopoles in that they areinexpensive and simple to construct. Loop antennas come in a variety of shapes (circular,rectangular, elliptical, etc.) but the fundamental characteristics of the loop antenna radiationpattern (far field) are largely independent of the loop shape.Just as the electrical length of the dipoles and monopoles effect the efficiency of these antennas,the electrical size of the loop (circumference) determines the efficiency of the loop antenna.Loop antennas are usually classified as either electrically small or electrically large based on thecircumference of the loop. electrically small loop = circumference λ/10 electrically large loop - circumference λ The electrically small loop antenna is the dual antenna to the electrically short dipole antenna. That is, the far-field electric field of a small loop antenna isidentical to the far-field magnetic Page 1 of 17 SECX1029 ANTENNAS AND WAVE PROPAGATION UNIT III SPECIAL PURPOSE ANTENNAS PREPARED BY: MS.L.MAGTHELIN THERASE field of the short dipole antenna and the far-field magneticfield of a small loop antenna is identical to the far-field electric field of the short dipole antenna.
