NRO. PRACTICE: 01 PRACTICE TITLE: ANTENNA TYPES
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
• Perform a bibliographic search on the main types of antennas.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
• Identify the main parameters of existing antennas.
• Check the maximum power transfer theorem, both in resistive loads and in impedances.
ACTIVITIES DEVELOPED
1. Concepts.
2. Antenna types.
2. Maximum Power Transfer Theorem.
THEORETICAL MARK

Maximum Power Transfer Theorem.


The maximum power transfer theorem states the following: A load resistor will receive the maximum power of a circuit when
the resistance of the load is exactly the same as Thevenin's resistance (Norton) backward view on the circuit [1].

TASK 1: CONCEPTS

Step 1: Define the following words.

Gain.
It's the amplification power of the signal.
Directivity.
Maximum radiation intensity over medium intensity
Radiation pattern.
It is a polar graph or diagram on which the force of electromagnetic fields emitted by an antenna is represented.
Characteristic impedance.
The characteristic impedance (Zo), of a transmission line is a complex amount expressed in Ohms, which is ideally independent of
the length of the line, and cannot be measured. The characteristic impedance (discharge resistance) is defined as the impedance
seen from the finite length of a line that is determined at a fully resistive load equal to the characteristic impedance of the line.
VSWR
Stationary wave ratio.
Polarization.
It is defined as the behavior of electromagnetic fields in space and time. They may include:
• Vertical: When the electric field generated by the antenna is vertical with respect to the earth horizon (top to bottom).
1. Horizontal: When the electric field generated by the antenna is parallel to the earth horizon.
• Circular: When the electric field generated by the antenna rotates from vertical to horizontal and vice versa, generating
circle-shaped movements in all directions. This turn can be clockwise or, on the contrary.

• Elliptical: When the electric field moves the same as in the previous case, but with uneven force in each direction. This
polarization is rarely caused in principle, rather it is usually a degeneration of the previous one.
Frequency.
Frequency is the number of cycles or periods that a signal completes in a second.
Scatter parameters.
S parameters can be used for any frequency because they do not make considerations of any open circuit or short circuit, they are
simply based on, the power levels that are perceived in the two-port network terminals. The S parameters are 4:
• 𝑺𝟏𝟏 : This parameter measures the amount of power that is reflected compared to the amount of power being applied on
port 1. The 𝑆11 parameter is also known as the input port reflection coefficient.
• 𝑺𝟏𝟐 : This parameter measures the received power on port 1 compared to that sent on port 2. This parameter is also known
as a reverse transmission coefficient.
• 𝑺𝟐𝟏 : This parameter measures the received power on port 2 compared to that sent on port 1. This parameter is also known
as a direct transmission coefficient.
• 𝑺𝟐𝟐 : This parameter measures the power reflected on port 2 compared to the amount of power that is sent from port 2. This
parameter is also known as the output port reflection coefficient.

TASK 2: ANTENNA TYPES

Figure 2.
Figure 2 has defined the maximum power transfer theorem, which states the following: A load resistor will receive the maximum
power of a circuit, when the load resistance is exactly the same as the input or source resistor seen back in the circuit. For this
case it's 50 ohms.

Figure 4 shows the Power vs Inductive Impedance curve. It can be observed that when the impedance inductance is similar to the
source resistance. At that very moment, the maximum power transfer occurs. And you can verify that the calculated data is similar
to the simulated ones.

Figure 5.

Figure 5 shows the Power vs Inductance curve. It can be observed that when the inductance reaches a value of 0.132 H. At that
very moment, the maximum power transfer occurs. And you can verify that the calculated data is similar to the simulated ones.

CONCLUSIONS:
• At the end of this practice, most existing antennas with their respective parameters could be identified as a radiation
pattern, frequency range at which it works, among others.

• The theorem of the maximum power transfer function has also been demonstrated by the design of two circuits and their
verification by MATLAB.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Perform each of the tasks specified by the teacher.
