Heinrich Hertz‘s end-loaded half-wave dipole transmitting antenna and resonant half-wave receiving loop operating at λ = 8 m in 1886. Hertz was the pioneer and father of radio, his invention remained a laboratory uriosity until 20-year-old Guglielmo Marconi of Bologna, Italy, went on to add tuning circuits, big antenna and ground systems for longer wavelengths, and was able to signal over large distances. In mid-December 1901 he startled the world by receiving signals at St. Johns, Newfoundland, from a transmitting station he had constructed at Poldhu in Cornwall, England. Guglielmo Marconi‘s square conical antenna at Poldhu, England, in 1905 for sending transatlantic signals at wavelengths of 1000s of meters. Shown in fig. below. Rarely has an invention captured the public imagination as Marconi‘s wireless did at the beginning of the 20th century. With the advent of radar during World War II, centimeter wavelengths became popular and the entire radio spectrum opened up to wide usage. Thousands of communication satellites bristling with antennas now circle the earth in low, medium, and geostationary orbits. The geostationary satellites form a ring around the earth similar to the rings around Saturn. Your hand-held Global Position Satellite (GPS) receiver gives your latitude, longitude and elevation to centimeter accuracy anywhere on or above the earth day or night, cloudy or clear. Very Large Array (VLA) of 27 steerable parabolic dish antennas each 25 m in diameter operating at centimeter wavelengths for observing radio sources at distances of billions of light-years. The array is located at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory near Socorro, New Mexico in 1980 . Shown in fig. below. Our probes with their arrays of antennas have visited the planets of the solar system and beyond, responding to our commands and sending back photographs and data at centimeter wavelengths even though it may take over 5 hours for the signals to travel one way. And our radio telescope antennas operating at millimeter to kilometer wavelengths receive signals from objects so distant that it has taken more than 10 billion years for the signals to arrive. Helix antenna array on one of 24 Global Position Satellites (GPS) in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at 20,000km. Operating at λ = 20 cm, these satellites provide you on or above the earth with your position (latitude, longitude and elevation) to an accuracy of better than 1 meter in 1985 . Shown in fig. below. In the above image, the antennas help the communication to be established in the whole area, including the valleys and mountains. This process would obviously be easier than laying a wiring system throughout the area. The ubiquitous, hand-held cellphone with half-wave antenna operating at λ = 30 cm, which connects you to everybody. Antennas are the essential communication link for aircraft and ships. Antennas for cellular phones and all types of wireless devices link us to everyone and every thing. With mankind‘s activities expanding into space, the need for antennas will grow to an unprecedented degree. Antennas will provide the vital links to and from everything out there. The future of antennas reaches to the stars. INTRODUCTION: Antennas are our electronic eyes and ears on the world. They are our links with space. They are an essential, integral part of our civilization. An antenna (or aerial) is an electrical device which converts electric

  • Antenna Theory and Matching
    Antenna Theory and Matching Farrukh Inam Applications Engineer LPRF TI 1 Agenda • Antenna Basics • Antenna Parameters • Radio Range and Communication Link • Antenna Matching Example 2 What is an Antenna • Converts guided EM waves from a transmission line to spherical wave in free space or vice versa. • Matches the transmission line impedance to that of free space for maximum radiated power. • An important design consideration is matching the antenna to the transmission line (TL) and the RF source. The quality of match is specified in terms of VSWR or S11. • Standing waves are produced when RF power is not completely delivered to the antenna. In high power RF systems this might even cause arching or discharge in the transmission lines. • Resistive/dielectric losses are also undesirable as they decrease the efficiency of the antenna. 3 When does radiation occur • EM radiation occurs when charge is accelerated or decelerated (time-varying current element). • Stationary charge means zero current ⇒ no radiation. • If charge is moving with a uniform velocity ⇒ no radiation. • If charge is accelerated due to EMF or due to discontinuities, such as termination, bend, curvature ⇒ radiation occurs. 4 Commonly Used Antennas • PCB antennas – No extra cost – Size can be demanding at sub 433 MHz (but we have a good solution!) – Good performance at > 868 MHz • Whip antennas – Expensive solutions for high volume – Good performance – Hard to fit in many applications • Chip antennas – Medium cost – Good performance at 2.4 GHz – OK performance at 868-955

  • Exp-1: Understand the Pathloss Prediction Formula
    Exp-1: Understand the pathloss prediction formula. Aim To understand the pathloss prediction formula Objectives 1. Calculation of received signal strength as a function of distance of separation between transmitter and receiver. 2. To understand the impact of the following parameters on received signal strength. (a) Transmitter Power (b) Path loss exponent, (c) Carrier frequency, (d) Receiver antenna height, (e) Transmitter antenna height. 1 Theory for Experiment 1:-Understand the pathloss prediction formula. The design of a communication system involves selection of values for several parameters. One of the important parameter is the transmit power. Higher transmit power ensures large allowable separation distance between the transmitter (Tx) and receiver(Rx). Of course the loss in signal power per unit distance depends on the properties of the medium. In case of wireless communication on one hand it is desired to have a very large coverage (large allowable separation between Txand Rx) on the other hand it is also desired that co-channel interference be as low as possible.An understanding of the large scale propagation effects is very important for design of suitable communication system. In terrestrial mobile communication system, electro-magnetic wave propagation is affected by reflection, diffraction and scattering. These lead to dynamic variation of signal strength as a function of time, frequency, distance of separation, antenna height, antenna configuration, local scattering environment etc. Propagation models are necessary in order to predict the received signal strength for a given set of parameters as mentioned above. These models can be broadly considered under:- • Large scale Fading Model. • Small Scale Fading Model.

  • Low-Profile Wideband Antennas Based on Tightly Coupled Dipole
    Low-Profile Wideband Antennas Based on Tightly Coupled Dipole and Patch Elements Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erdinc Irci, B.S., M.S. Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John L. Volakis, Advisor Kubilay Sertel, Co-advisor Robert J. Burkholder Fernando L. Teixeira c Copyright by Erdinc Irci 2011 Abstract There is strong interest to combine many antenna functionalities within a single, wideband aperture. However, size restrictions and conformal installation requirements are major obstacles to this goal (in terms of gain and bandwidth). Of particular importance is bandwidth; which, as is well known, decreases when the antenna is placed closer to the ground plane. Hence, recent efforts on EBG and AMC ground planes were aimed at mitigating this deterioration for low-profile antennas. In this dissertation, we propose a new class of tightly coupled arrays (TCAs) which exhibit substantially broader bandwidth than a single patch antenna of the same size. The enhancement is due to the cancellation of the ground plane inductance by the capacitance of the TCA aperture. This concept of reactive impedance cancellation was motivated by the ultrawideband (UWB) current sheet array (CSA) introduced by Munk in 2003. We demonstrate that as broad as 7:1 UWB operation can be achieved for an aperture as thin as λ/17 at the lowest frequency. This is a 40% larger wideband performance and 35% thinner profile as compared to the CSA. Much of the dissertation’s focus is on adapting the conformal TCA concept to small and very low-profile finite arrays.

  • Radiation Hazard Analysis KVH Industries Carlsbad, CA
    Radiation Hazard Analysis KVH Industries Carlsbad, CA This analysis predicts the radiation levels around a proposed earth station complex, comprised of one (reflector) type antennas. This report is developed in accordance with the prediction methods contained in OET Bulletin No. 65, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, Edition 97-01, pp 26-30. The maximum level of non-ionizing radiation to which employees may be exposed is limited to a power density level of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter (5 mW/cm2) averaged over any 6 minute period in a controlled environment and the maximum level of non-ionizing radiation to which the general public is exposed is limited to a power density level of 1 milliwatt per square centimeter (1 mW/cm2) averaged over any 30 minute period in a uncontrolled environment. Note that the worse-case radiation hazards exist along the beam axis. Under normal circumstances, it is highly unlikely that the antenna axis will be aligned with any occupied area since that would represent a blockage to the desired signals, thus rendering the link unusable.

HOD, ECE, Chalapathi Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chalapathi Nagar, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India. Abstract: In this paper, among the earliest type of antennas in production was aperture type. These antennas were rigid and consisted of a parabolic, paraboloidal, cylindrical, or spherical shape. A major limitation of this type of antenna stems from the fact they could only give one particular radiation pattern, and if one wanted to scan the signal from one point to another, then the whole structure had to be moved which meant the satellite had to be realigned. This major shortcoming led to the development of the more costly phased array technology and other technologies where beam scanning was exploited. The aperture is defined as the area, oriented perpendicular to the direction of an incoming radio wave, which would intercept the same amount of power from that wave as is produced by the antenna receiving it. At any point, a beam of radio waves has an irradiance or power flux density which is the amount of radio power passing through a unit area of one square meter.

  • Of the Radiation Properties of the Antenna As a Function of Space Coordinates
    LECTURE 4: Fundamental Antenna Parameters (Radiation pattern. Pattern beamwidths. Radiation intensity. Directivity. Gain. Antenna efficiency and radiation efficiency. Frequency bandwidth. Input impedance and radiation resistance. Antenna equivalent area. Relationship between directivity and area.) The antenna parameters describe the antenna performance with respect to space distribution of the radiated energy, power efficiency, matching to the feed circuitry, etc. Many of these parameters are interrelated. There are several parameters not described here, such as antenna temperature and noise characteristics. They will be discussed later in conjunction with radiowave propagation and system performance. 1. Radiation pattern The radiation pattern (RP) (or antenna pattern) is the representation of the radiation properties of the antenna as a function of space coordinates. The RP is measured in the far-field region, where the spatial (angular) distribution of the radiated power does not depend on the distance. One can measure and plot the field intensity, e.g. ∼ E ()θ ,ϕ , or the received power 2 E ()θϕ, 2 ∼ =η H ()θ ,ϕ η The trace of the spatial variation of the received/radiated power at a constant radius from the antenna is called the power pattern. The trace of the spatial variation of the electric (magnetic) field at a constant radius from the antenna is called the amplitude field pattern. Usually, the pattern describes the normalized field (power) values with respect to the maximum value. Note: The power pattern and the amplitude field pattern are the same when computed and plotted in dB. 1 The pattern can be a 3-D plot (both θ and ϕ vary), or a 2-D plot.

  • ISOTROPIC RADIATOR in General, Isotropic Radiator Is a Hypothetical
    Lecture 8 Antenna And Wave Propagation Isotropic Antenna ISOTROPIC RADIATOR In general, isotropic radiator is a hypothetical or fictitious radiator. The isotropic radiator is defined as a radiator which radiates energy in all directions uniformly. It is also called isotropic source. As it radiates uniformly in all directions. Basically isotropic radiator is a lossless ideal radiator or antenna. Generally all the practical antennas are compared with the characteristics of the isotropic radiator. The isotropic antenna or radiator is used as reference antenna. Practically all antennas show directional properties i.e. directivity property. That means none of the antennas radiate energy in all directions uniformly. Hence practically isotropic radiator cannot exist. Figure 1: Isotropic radiator Consider that an isotropic radiator is placed at the center of sphere of radius (r). Then all the power radiated by the isotropic radiator passes over the surface area of the sphere given by (4πr) assuming zero absorption of the power. Then at any point on the surface, the Poynting vector W gives the power radiated per unit area in any direction. But radiated power travels in the radial direction. Thus the magnitude of the Poynting vector W will be equal to radial component as the components in θ and ∅ directions are zero i.e. 푊휃=푊∅=0.
