  2. Microwave antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_antenna

    A typical larger microwave antenna designed for mid to long range A parabolic satellite antenna for Erdfunkstelle Raisting, based in Raisting, Bavaria, Germany. C band horn-reflector antennas on the roof of a telephone switching center in Seattle, Washington, part of the U.S. AT&T Long Lines microwave relay network.

  3. Horn antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_antenna

    Pyramidal microwave horn antenna, with a bandwidth of 0.8 to 18 GHz. A coaxial cable feedline attaches to the connector visible at top. This type is called a ridged horn; the curving fins visible inside the mouth of the horn increase the antenna's bandwidth. The first modern horn antenna in 1938 with inventor Wilmer L. Barrow.

  4. Noise temperature (antenna) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_temperature_(antenna)

    In other words, antenna noise temperature is a parameter that describes how much noise an antenna produces in a given environment. This temperature is not the physical temperature of the antenna. Moreover, an antenna does not have an intrinsic "antenna temperature" associated with it; rather the temperature depends on its gain pattern, pointing ...

  5. Microwave transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_transmission

    Antennas of 1931 experimental 1.7 GHz microwave relay link across the English Channel. The receiving antenna (background, right) was located behind the transmitting antenna to avoid interference. US Army Signal Corps portable microwave relay station, 1945. Microwave relay systems were first developed in World War II for secure military ...

  6. Lens antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_antenna

    Beginning the same year, Indian physicist Jagadish Chandra Bose in his landmark 6–60 GHz (50–5 mm) microwave experiments may have been the first to construct lens antennas, using a 2.5 cm cylindrical sulfur lens in a waveguide to collimate the microwave beam from his spark oscillator, [13] and patenting a receiving antenna consisting of a ...

  7. Sector antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sector_antenna

    Typical GSM sector antenna outdoor unit. A sector antenna is a type of directional microwave antenna with a sector-shaped radiation pattern.The word "sector" is used in the geometric sense; some portion of the circumference of a circle measured in degrees of arc. 60°, 90° and 120° designs are typical, often with a few degrees 'extra' to ensure overlap and mounted in multiples when wider or ...

  8. Low-noise block downconverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

    The microwave signal from the dish is picked up by a feedhorn on the LNB and is fed to a section of waveguide. One or more metal pins, or probes, protrude into the waveguide at right angles to the axis and act as antennas, feeding the signal to a printed circuit board inside the LNB's shielded box for processing. The lower frequency IF output ...

  9. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    In a so-called "aperture antenna", such as a horn or parabolic dish, the "feed" may also refer to a basic radiating antenna embedded in the entire system of reflecting elements (normally at the focus of the parabolic dish or at the throat of a horn) which could be considered the one active element in that antenna system. A microwave antenna may ...
