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. Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

   A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a parabolic reflector, a curved surface with the cross-sectional shape of a parabola, to direct the radio waves. The most common form is shaped like a dish and is popularly called a dish antenna or parabolic dish. The main advantage of a parabolic antenna is that it has high directivity.

4. Horn antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_antenna

   The first modern horn antenna in 1938 with inventor Wilmer L. Barrow. A horn antenna or microwave horn is an antenna that consists of a flaring metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horns are widely used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies, above 300 MHz. [1]

5. Microwave transmission - Wikipedia

   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. 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 ...

7. Front-to-back ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front-to-back_ratio

   In point-to-point microwave antennas, a "high performance" antenna usually has a higher front to back ratio than other antennas. For example, an unshrouded 38 GHz microwave dish may have a front to back ratio of 64 dB, while the same size reflector equipped with a shroud would have a front to back ratio of 70 dB.
