  2. Antenna An antenna is used to transmit or receive an electromagnetic signal. A “monopole” antenna is a wire antenna that uses ground as the other terminal.

  3. Examples of Monopole Antennas Monopoles on vehicle Cell phone antenna AM tower

  4. Transmitting Antenna: Monopole Monopoles are often used for vertical polarization (e.g., AM) The current on a monopole is given by: where i(x,t) h x “monopole antenna”

  5. Transmitting Antenna (cont.) For a good antenna, h  / 4 This will maximize the current at the base of the antenna I(0). i(x,t) This follows from: h x The sin term is maximum when “monopole antenna” k

  6. base of antenna I(x) top of antenna x h =  / 4 Transmitting Antenna (cont.) i(x,t) h x “monopole antenna”

  7. Transmitting Antenna (cont.) Example Pick f= 1,270 kHz = 1.270 MHz (KFCC)  = c / f = 3.0 108 / (1.27 106) = 236.06 meters h So, h 59.0 [m] “monopole antenna”

  8. Receive Antenna: Monopole For a good receive antenna, h  / 4 Ex h (The best height for transmitting is also the best height for receiving.) + v(t) - It may be difficult to make the receive antenna this tall – in this case the taller the better! earth “monopole antenna”

  9. h h feed (to receiver) L Dipole Antenna A “dipole antenna” is often used for horizontal polarization (as in FM and TV) h  / 4 Example: Pick f = 99.1 MHz (Sunny 99.1 FM)  = c/f = 3.03 m L = 2h  / 2 L= 1.51m

  16. Example The AM radio station KFCC (1270 KHz) transmits 50 [kW] of power equally in all directions above the earth (hemisphere pattern). • a) What is the power density 30 [km] away? • What is the magnitude of the electric field 30 [km] away? • Describe mathematically the electric field that an observer would see at this distance. 30 [km] observer

  17. Example (cont.) 30 [km] observer

  18. Example (cont.) Also, please note that we do not have the amplitude value A. This can be calculated from power: So or

  19. Example (cont.) x From previous calculation: Hence we have 30 [km]

  20. Ex Hy Receive Voltage Receive antenna wire is in x direction z = zR z h + v(t) - earth Please the units: voltage n[V], electric field E[V/m]

  21. Ex Hy Receive Voltage (cont.) h For a monopole antenna: + v(t) - earth z = zR

  22. Example Assume that the incident electric field for the AM radio station KFCC has a magnitude of Calculate the received voltage if the vertical antenna wire is 3 meters high. so

  23. Example (cont.) (from previous calculation of  and k) So we have: This is the received voltage at the terminals of the monopole antenna.
