A printed reflectarray is a high-gain, low profile, low-cost antenna that combines the advantages of parabolic reflector antennas with microstrip arrays. This white paper demonstrates how to easily create a printed reflectarray and its simpler feeds through the use of FEKO simulation software.
When designing a network backhaul, the finest technology is considered for the active components, while the importance of passive components is often taken for granted. The antenna has been regularly seen as a cost-saving component where concessions can be made on quality.
What makes communication so challenging in an airport is its large coverage area and high-capacity requirements. That’s the challenge YYC Calgary International Airport faced when it built its new international terminal.
Ensuring maximum power transfer between an antenna and transmitter/receiver circuitry requires impedance matching of HF components in the antenna design. This app note describes the design and matching of a 60 GHz printed antenna.
The ATT700M12G is a 700 MHz - 12 GHz wideband trapezoidal log-periodic antenna with up to 600 W power. It is designed for applications requiring large uniform field areas. This antenna is able to provide high power handling, nearly constant gain, and wide beam widths that are equal in the E and H planes.
The SAS-571 double ridge horn antenna is a broadband antenna operating over the 700 MHz to 18.0 GHz frequency range. With high gain, low VSWR, input handling capability up to 300 W CW, and a rugged design, this antenna ideal for immunity and emissions testing applications.
Narda Safety Test Solutions presents the AMS-8061 Area Monitor designed for monitoring electromagnetic fields from 100 kHz to 6 GHz in up to 20 freely definable frequency bands. Capable of independent operation, this monitor functions on the power of solar cells and rechargeable batteries, which enables uninterrupted measurements over an unlimited period of time. Results are stored internally and can be read out locally via Ethernet, USB, or RS 232, transferred to an SD card, or accessed remotely over a cell phone link.
HUBER+SUHNER offers an array of antenna solutions customized to meet specific application needs. Various modifications can be made including an individual bracket for faster installation, tailored lengths for saving space, and standard labels for simplifying logistics.
RFMW has designed and supported the new Southwest Antenna part numbers 1009-035 and 1009-037. These antennas are designed for use in in base station infrastructure applications, and MIMO/MANET and Mesh network radios. The antennas come complete with hardware for mounting to one or two inch diameter poles enabling rapid deployment of networks for event management and security.
MP Antenna offers the 08-ANT-0899 multi-polarized NMO-mount antenna operating from 2 to 3 GHz for mobile data communications applications, such as for WiFi, WIMAX, and all 802.11 wireless systems in vehicles. This low profile antenna provides unequalled wireless communication in “real world”, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments.
Highly mobile shelters deployed in harsh environments rely on the high connectivity, security, and other benefits that an RF-over-Fiber system has to offer. HUBER+SUHNER provides fiber optic cables that allow for shelters to be positioned far away from the antennas, yet still ensure that antenna links and the shelter are secure. These fiber optic cables are also able to reduce the cable footprint of the application, making the solution lighter in weight, higher in mobility, and dramatically speed up and simplify installation and maintenance.
Teledyne Labtech, a business unit of Teledyne Microwave Solutions (TMS), is one of the few companies in the world who can offer large format PCB for use in RF/microwave applications. Their products and PCBs can be found in a large range of products ranging from antennas for large phased array radar, to components used in the world's most sophisticated fighter aircraft. Their continued investment has expanded their capabilities to enable Teledyne Labtech to offer a large range of non-standard PCBs. The auto-clave vacuum oven capability allows Teledyne Labtech to manufacture large format multilayer PCBs.
