  11. Signal Bandwidth

  12. Linear Horizontal Vertical Elliptical Left hand Right hand Polarization

  13. Linear Horizontal Vertical Elliptical (circular) Left hand Right hand Horiz. vs Vert. (20db loss) Eliptical vs Linear (3db loss) Left vs Right (20db loss) Mis-Polarization

  14. Amplifiers • RF Amplifiers • Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) for receiving small signals • Power Amplifiers for transmitting

  15. Amplifiers • Location

  16. Amplifiers • Bias-Tee (Power Injector, etc)

  17. Obstacles at 2.4 GHz • Anything Solid • Trees / Leaves • Buildings • Water?

  18. Water Vapor

  19. Wave Meter Frequency Counter Test Equipment

  20. Test Equipment • RF Power Meter

  21. Test Equipment • Signal Source • VCO • Harmonic Multiplier • Gunn Diode • Video Sender • Cordless Phone

  22. VSWR • Directional Coupler

  23. Transmission Lines • Waveguide

  24. Transmission Lines • Coax

  25. Microstrip Stripline Transmission Lines

  26. SMA RP-SMA RF Connectors

  27. RF Connectors • N – Connector

  28. RF Connectors

  39. Antennas • Dish

  40. Link Budget

  41. Link Budget Software

  42. Software • Fresnel Zone (60%)

  43. Construction • Measurements for a 3-1/4” diameter • Probe Length = 1.21” (31mm) • Set 2.49” from back of can (63mm)

  44. Multimedia Software • Conf (NetMeeting) • Windows Start Button • Find “Run” on the menu • Type in “conf” and press enter • Sends Voice and Video over a network – in this case, wireless.

  45. Testing Methods • VSWR

  46. Testing Methods • VSWR Measurement • FP = Forward Power • RP = Reverse Power 1+sqr(RP/FP) VSWR = ---------------- 1-sqr(RP/FP) Definition: impedance mismatch between transmission line and load

  47. Testing Methods • VSWR Measurement Example • FP = .18 mW • RP = .05 mW 1+sqr(.05/.18) VSWR = ---------------- = 3.25:1 1-sqr(.05/.18)

  48. Testing Methods • VSWR Mismatch Effects
