Radiation Field or Fraunhofer Field: Basic Antennas

This document provides an overview of various antenna types and their key characteristics. It discusses common antenna types like dipoles, quarter-wave antennas, folded dipoles, Yagi-Uda arrays, turnstile antennas, loop antennas, helical antennas, parabolic reflector antennas, multi-element arrays, horn antennas and their properties such as directivity, gain, impedance, polarization, beamwidth and efficiency. The document also covers fundamental antenna concepts like near fields, far fields, captured power, radiation patterns and effective radiated power.

DIRECTIVE GAIN

POWER GAIN
2. Half-Wave Dipole- resonant antenna
Voltage, Current & Impedance Distribution of Halfwave dipole

EFFECTIVE ISOTROPIC RADIATED POWER


(EIRP)

If the feed point is distance xfrom one end of a half


wave (/2) dipole
3. Quarter-Wave

antenna- vertical antenna is

basically a half-wave dipole placed vertically, with the


other half of the dipole being the ground (image).

SPECIAL PURPOSE ANTENNA


1. Folded Dipole antenna- made up of two
Elements
2. Yagi-Uda antenna- linear array w/ two or more
parasitic elements

(b)
Broadside array
(c)

End-fire array
(d)

Log-

3. Turnstile antenna- omnidirectional pattern.

Periodic antenna
4. Loop antenna- formed into one or more turns so
its end are close together.

5.

Helical
antenna- A
circularly
polarized antenna
Two Principal Modes:
a. Normal(Broads
ide) Mode- inefficient
radiators, used for mobile communications
b. Axial (End Fire) Mode- the antenna
produces true circular polarization
