Basic Antenna TheoryRyszard StruzakNote: These are preliminary notes, intended only for distribution among the participants. Beware of misprints! ICTP-ITU-URSI School on Wireless Networking for DevelopmentThe Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics ICTP, Trieste (Italy), 5 to 24 February 2007R Struzak 2 Purpose to refresh Basic physical conceptsneeded to understand better the operation and design of microwave antennasR Struzak 3 Outline Introduction Review of Basic Antenna types Radiation pattern, gain, polarization Equivalent circuit & radiation efficiency Smart antennas Some Theory SummaryR Struzak 4 QuizTransmitting antennas used to radiate RF energy, whereasreceiving antennas designed to capture RF energy Somebody told that receiving antennas,radiate radio waves during the reception Is it a true fact or a slip of the tongue?
Reflector antennas • Reflectors are used to concentrate flux of EM energy radiated/ received, or to change its direction • Usually, they are parabolic (paraboloidal). – The first parabolic (cylinder) reflector antenna was used by Heinrich Hertz in 1888. • Large reflectors have high gain and directivity – …
