  1. Antenna Network for BLUEsat Microsatellite using 437MHz as a Transmit Frequency Original Author: Jan A. King 23 August 2003 Updated by: Darran Siu 24 August 2003

  2. Transmit Antenna System Block Diagram Tx #2 Tx #1 90° Hybrid X Note: Match all elements To 50 ohms at green nodes ( ). /2 coax lines are 100 ohms. All Other lines are 50 ohms. X X = Arbitrary Length All 4 radiating elements Are /4 in length. /2 /2 Radiating Element, Typ. Of 4

  3. Darran’s Detailed Coaxial Diagram SMA 90° Hybrid Coupler 200 – 500 MHz Ant 1 Ant 3 TX - 1 0° /2 -> 243.80mm Transmitting at ~ 437MHz /2 -> 243.80mm 90° TX - 2 Ant 2 Ant 4 Male SMA Connector Female SMA Connector 50 Ohm Coax = Black – Length independent SMA F – F – F T Adapter SMA F to F inline straight through Adapter 100 Ohm Coax = Red - Length dependent
