Types of wire antennas
Dipoles, loops and monopoles
Types of aperture antennas
parabolic dish
Types of array antennas
two or more antennas operating together
wire antenna features
lower frequencies (<1Ghz), easy to build, low gain
aperture antenna features
higher frequencies, high performance, high gain, point to point communication
array antenna features
better performance and flexibility than single antennas
isotropic radiation pattern
radiates equally in all directions (only theoretically possible)
directional radiation pattern
radiates/receives more power in some directions
omnidirectional radiation pattern
non-directional pattern in one plan and directional pattern at 90 degrees
radiation density equation
Si = P / 4pi*r^2
radiation intensity equation
U = P / 4pi
directivity equation
D = 4pi*U / P
gain equation
G = S4pir^2 / P(in) = DP(rad) / P(in) = 4pi / (delta)theta(delta)omega = 4pi*A / lambda^2
effective isotropic radiated power equation
P(iso) = P(in)*G
radiated power radius equation
R = 2D^2 / lambda
gain to dBi equation
dBi = 10log10(D(max))
maximum radiation density equation
Si(max) = PG(max) / 4pir^2
antenna effective area equation
Ae = P / Si = G*lambda^2 / 4pi
aperture efficiency equation
E(ap) = Ae / A
radar power density equation
P(D) = P(t) / 4pi*r^2
radar power rereadiated equation
P(D)sigma = P(t)G(t)sigma / 4pi*r^2
radar power density back at radar equation
P(RD) = P(t)G(t)sigma / (4pir^2)^2
