Categories Radiation Pattern a) Engineering point of view Wire Antennas b) Analytical point of view Aperture Antennas Equivalence Theorem Basic Antennas c) Technical point of view Composite Antennas - Dipole, Loop, Helix - Slot, Horn, Frequ. Indep. - Arrays (linear, planar, Yagi) - Reflectors (corner, parab.)
- 4. Basic Structures a) Dipole - Coordinate system Blackboard! x y z Load Tr. Line r r … (radial) distance θ θ … Elevation φ φ … Azimuth - Electric and Magnetic Field Vector H Er The “longer” the vectors E & H at point r, the more energy is available at that point. BUT! We are also interested in the changes from location to location.
- 5. Basic Structures a) Dipole - Radiation Pattern Blackboard! Radiation Pattern is defined as … “… the variation of the magnitude of the electric or magnetic field as a function of direction (at a distance far from the antenna).” half wave one wave length 1.5 wave lengthvery short dipole
