Basic properties of a quarterwave monopole antenna a quarterwave monopole is a ground plane dependent antenna that must be fed singleended. In the next video ill go over the dipole antenna, antenna gain, and electrical length. The larger the effective aperture, the more effective is the antenna compared with a simple dipole. Basic antenna design considerations for enocean based products. Radiation resistance power radiated input current squared the other portions are ground loss and antenna structure loss that dissipate power as heat.
Basic antenna an antenna can be a length of wire, a metal rod, or a piece of metal tubing. The center conductor of the feeding coaxial cable is connected to one side of the slot, and the outside conductor of the cable to the other side of the slot. This tutorial is meant to provide the readers a detailed description of the antennas used in communication systems. The antenna must have a ground plane to be efficient, and ideally the ground plane should. Onehalf and onequarter wavelengths are most common. A whip antenna provides exceptional overall performance and stability, has an. We would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to calculate the parameters of an antenna and decide which antenna suits for which type of application and why. Basic vertical monopole radiation resistance radiation resistance rrad is that portion of the antenna input resistance that radiates power. The described antenna should be fabricated on standard 1.
Starting with hertzs antenna model followed by a short introduction to the fundamentals of wave propagation, the important general characteristics of an antenna and its associated parameters are explained. This video is a tutorial that will describe how antennas work and the properties of different configurations. A dipole antenna is two pieces of wire, rod, or tubing that are onequarter wavelength long. Friis transmission equation and the radar equation. A read is counted each time someone views a publication summary such as the title, abstract, and list of authors, clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the fulltext. Unlike isotropic antenna, the halfwave dipole is a practical. Antennas radiate most effectively when their length is directly related to the wavelength of the transmitted signal.
Directivity and radiation resistance of halfwave dipole. The case of a monopole antenna of length l mounted above an infinite ground plane is shown in figure 1a. Antennas 101 7 the basics 6 fronttoback, fronttoside, and fronttorear ratios fronttorear ratio based on an average across 90 or 180 degrees behind the antenna in the patterns rear quadrants 20. Antenna basics white paper this white paper describes the basic functionality of antennas. Most antennas have a length that is some fraction of a wavelength. This tutorial is meant for all the readers who are aspiring to learn the phenomenon of antennas. There are updated free pdf versions of the book available subject to registration via.
In this video ill discus the basic design of a monopole antenna. A monopole antenna is one half of a dipole antenna, almost always mounted above some sort of ground plane. The velocity of a wave in a free space is the same as the speed of light. Foundations of antenna engineering kildal antenn ab. This white paper describes the basic functionality of antennas. Monopole above a pec a, and the equivalent source in free space b.
