Radio masts are steel structures used by radio stations to support broadcasting equipment. Radiation masts are broadcasting equipment and can transmit and receive signals without additional equipment. Masts are constructed with tubular and angle-cut steel and supported by “guys”. They are named after the surrounding area or the station they support. A radio mast is […]
Antenna efficiency measures the power generated by radiation resistance versus total resistance, identifying design flaws and other factors affecting signal reception. Regular testing can prevent permanent damage and restore lost efficiency. “Antenna efficiency” is a term used to describe the relationship between the amount of power generated in the form of radiation resistance and the […]
An antenna specialist repairs, diagnoses, and installs antennas, and provides professional opinions on antenna selection. They must understand environmental factors and different frequencies. Training is required, and there are specialists for different types of antennas. An antenna specialist is someone who is dedicated to the study and research of antenna technology and other related technologies. […]
An AirCard® antenna increases a computer’s ability to connect to low-power signals and maintain the connection. It can also increase speed and improve signal stability. The antenna is an external unit that plugs into the AirCard® and does not require any software to operate. There are different types of antennas, and it is important to […]
When choosing a broadband antenna for internet use, consider the installation area, existing equipment, and computer configuration. Look for an antenna that can be easily maneuvered and positioned close to the modem for maximum gain. Mobile antennas may have limited coverage and require compatible accessories. A broadband antenna is an antenna that is capable of […]
A network adapter antenna is crucial for a strong wireless connection and can be internal or external. It connects to the adapter and can be adjusted for better signal reception. A network card antenna is usually part of a wireless network card and allows the adapter to secure a stronger connection to a wireless network. […]
Antenna arrays combine signals from multiple antennas to form a single beam, improving signal quality and minimizing interference. They can detect incoming signals and be computer-controlled to move the beam. Antenna arrays can take various forms and have different types, including linear, planar, and frequency-scanning arrays. They are often modeled by computers during the design […]
Biconical antennas consist of two cone-shaped elements that can send and receive signals across a broad range of frequencies. They are often used for electromagnetic interference testing and have a symmetrical design that allows for consistent test repeats. They are versatile and can be used in various applications, including terrestrial and mobile platforms and in […]
Antenna aperture is the area around an antenna where power is derived from an electromagnetic field. It is determined by factors such as voltage and electromagnetic field density. Aperture size affects gain and can be measured by comparing antennas. Other important antenna functions include bandwidth, impedance, beamwidth, and frequency. The aperture can be changed for […]
