Communications - Antennas What is the affect on the gain of antennas with frequency? When perfect impedance match – get 100% transfer to antenna 100% Perfect impedance match – get VSWR = 1.0 35 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design
Communications - Antennas What is the affect on the gain of antennas with frequency? What happens when VSWR > 1.0? Reflected wave <100% forward wave Output power of antenna (gain) is less off resonant frequency. 36 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization V polarization? H polarization? LH circular? RH circular? What type of antenna polarization should be used on satellites and ground stations? What about when satellite is coming toward you? V polarization? H polarization? LH circular? RH circular? What about when satellite is going away from you? 44 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design
Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Didn’t answer the question of polarization on the ground and on the satellite??? Something tricky happens to the polarization as the RF passes through the atmosphere to and from the satellite. We will find out when we look further at the link equations. 45 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design
