Set 6 - Part 2: Antennas 1 1 Types of Antennas: Half-wave Dipole Antenna • Wire antenna with length L = /2. Set 6 - Part 2: Antennas 3 5 Antenna Characteristics: Directivity D The ability of an antenna to concentrate the radiated power, or conversely to absorb effectively the incident power from that direction, is specified in terms of its In free space the center-fed half-wave antenna has an input impedance that is a close match to 50 ohm coax and to most radios that have a 50 ohm output impedance. (The actual impedance depends on the height of the antenna above ground and many other factors.) The Frequency Devices 10N6RDB take the half-wave dipole a step further by 2x2 Dipole Antenna Array 2 Abstract This report will explain the theory of dipole antenna, and a 2x2 half wave dipole antenna will be designed at 2.4 GHz frequency. The antenna will also be built, and it has three main parts: four half wave dipole antennas, four baluns, and one power divider. I would simulate my design with the software, Comparing a guitar string and a center-fed half-wave dipole antenna. The transmitter feeds current in the center of a dipole, similarly to how a guitar string is usually plucked near the middle of the string. The guitar string can be plucked near its edge using more force. There are two basic ways that this impedance transformation is accomplished. Figure 7.1 illustrates operation of a basic half-wave resonant dipole antenna. Shown in Figure 7.1(a) is a dipole antenna excited from an RF source. The balanced nature of the ideal circuit ensures that identical current will exist on each side of the dipole. Current near the ends of the dipole is of necessity small, vanishing at the ends, because electrons, whose movement constitutes the A half-wave wired dipole antenna has been designed for wireless applications at 1 GHz. It is used for Aeronautical radio navigation and other wireless applications. This design is simulated and analyzed using CST Microwave Studio (MWS).Gain of 2.1 dB -Coax is the other half of the antenna -Effects of Current on the coax wa7ark 3 What is an End Fed Half Wave Antenna? Let's call it a "EFHW" Works on a similar principle to a Zepp and J-Pole ~0.5 Wave-Length wire on lowest band (130ft on 80m, 67ft on 40m) Fed from one end using a transformer in a box wa7ark 4 The Half-Wave Dipole Antenna is the most widely used type of dipole antenna. As the name suggests that, the total length of the dipole antenna is equal to the half-wavelength () at the frequency of operation. It is known as a half-wavelength dipole or simply dipole or doublet. It is also known as the Hertz antenna. A half-wave dipole antenna consists of two quarter-wavelength conductors placed end to end for a total length of approximately L = λ/2.The current distribution is that of a standing wave, approximately sinusoidal along the length of the dipole, with a node at each end and an antinode (peak current) at the center (feedpoint): = ⁡ ⁡,where k = 2π/λ and z runs from −L/2 to L/2. Many antennas are based on half-wave dipoles fabricated from wire or tubing. The feed point is usually placed at the centre of the dipole, for although this is not absolutely necessary, it can help prevent asymmetry in the presence of other conducting structures. The input impedance is a function of both the dipole length and diameter. A folded dipole is an antenna, with two conductors connected on both sides, and folded to form a cylindrical cl
