Parabolic Dish Antennas

An Antenna is : An An effective interface between the radio and free space: Radio Antenna Free space a For Terrestrial Communications, antennas must be directional: Radio

Terrestrial Microwave Antennas for Point-To-Point Communication Terrestrial antennas generate a beam of RF signal to communicate between two locations. Point-To-Point communication depends upon a clear line of sight between two antennas. Obstructions, such as buildings, trees or terrain interfere with the signal. Depending upon the location, usage and frequency, different types can be utilized. We will address the basic characteristics of these various types…

Basic Parabolic Antenna Types Standard Parabolic Antenna Shielded (Radomes) Antenna GRIDPAK ® Antenna Focal Plane Antenna

Standard Parabolic Antenna Basic Antenna Comprised of –Reflector –Feed Assembly –Mount

Shielded Antenna Absorber-Lined Shield Improved Feed System Protection Against Ice, Snow and Dirt Better against the wind

Focal Plane Antenna Deeper Reflector Edge Geometry Slightly Lower Gain

GRIDPAK ® Antenna Grid Reflector Low Wind load Below 2.7GHz

Antenna Efficiency Well-designed antennas have efficiency ratings of % Efficiency Factor Affected By : Signal Strength, Blockage & Obstructions Reflector Surface Efficiency can never be 100%

Calculating the Focal Point In order to determine the optimal location for the antenna feed, or receiver, you must calculate the focal point. Using the following formula: »F= D 2 / 16d –Where F = focal point D = Diameter of the dish d = depth of dish

Focal Point The point at which the RF signals meet after reflecting off of the parabolic curve of the antenna.

Calculating the Focal Point If you have a Parabolic Dish antenna that is 12” in diameter and 3” deep where would the focal point be located? Use the formula: F= D2 / 16d 12” squared = 144”, 144” divided by (16 x 3”) or 48” 144/48”=3” The focal point is 3”.
