Quiz!! 75 W System ZT 50 W Line Determine ZT for a matched load.
Negligible Radiation Half Wave Dipole For l = l/2, ZT = 73 + 42.5jW For l = 0.95l/2, ZT ~ 72 W Weaker Radiation l Strongest Radiation ZT Balanced Transmission Line Gain ~ 1.64 ~ 2.15 dBi Weaker Radiation Radiation Pattern exhibits line (cylindrical) symmetry with respect to Dipole Axis. Negligible Radiation
Quarter Wave Dipole(Vertical Marconi) For l = 0.95l/4, ZT ~ 37 W Radiation pattern is identical to half wave dipole above ground plane, zero radiation below ground plane. Unbalanced Transmission Line (Co-ax) l ZT Perfectly Conducting Planar Reflector (Ground Plane) Balanced Transmission Line Reflected image of driven element.
Practical Quarter Wave Whip Weaker Radiation Strongest Radiation Unbalanced Transmission Line (Co-ax) Weaker Radiation Imperfectly Conducting Ground Plane Ground Plane Systems: Large Metal Sheet Highly conductive terrain Radial conductors buried in earth Radial Conductors emanating from antenna mast (Counterpoise)
Folded Half Wave Dipole l ~ l/2 ZT Balanced Transmission Line • ZT ~ 288 W • Provides consistent gain over broader bandwidth. • Pattern same as half wave dipole
Yagi-Uda Antenna The Yagi-Uda antenna is constructed with one driven element and several parasitic elements. Driven element Directors Reflector Strongest Radiation
Log Periodic Antenna Log Periodic Antenna produces less gain than Yagi-Uda, but has broader bandwidth.
Loop Antennas Direction of Propagation – Magnetic Field lines shown Yields maximum response when magnetic field lines are perpendicular to plane of loop – yields sharp null when magnetic field lines are parallel to plane of loop. Used for direction finding.
