Discone Design Using Simple N-coniiector Feed

نویسنده

  • Theodore S. Rappaport
چکیده

As part of an indoor multipath measurement system, discone antennas featuring simple N-connector feed systems have been fabricated for the . . 1.0 to 2.0 GHz band. Experimentation reveals that excellent performance (VSWR < 1.5 :1 across the band) can be obtained with a simple "snap-on" feed/mount method, and that VSWR is most sensitive to the diameter of the disc feed conductor. Performance data from over 70 discone antennas having a. variety of flare angles, disc-to-cone spacings and feed conductor diameters are summarized here. Results show that for N-connector mounts, best flare angles range between 45° and 75°, and that the disc feed conductor should be 0.33 times the diameter of the cone top. The empirical data reveals that the antennas may be tuned for even better match by using a simple clamp nut tuning scheme. Design equ~tions, which differ from Nail1s because of the. large minimum . . . cone diameter1 are presented.

Resistively Loaded Discones for Uwb Communications

An Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antenna is required for UWB communications systems, such as the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). In this case, the desired antenna must cover a bandwidth of 20 MHz to 4 GHz, be omnidirectional, be convenient to transport and deploy, and be able to transmit 200 Watts of power. Conventional discone antennas are candidates for such systems, but they have insufficient ban...

Optimization of a Broadband Discone Antenna Design and Platform Installed Radiation Patterns Using a GPU-Accelerated Savant/WIPL-D Hybrid Approach

Traditional design guidelines for broadband antennas do not always produce satisfactory performance for the desired frequency range of interest. In addition, the accurate prediction of the freespace antenna performance is not sufficient to determine if the antenna will meet a larger system requirement because the performance of the antenna can change significantly when it is installed on a plat...

Wireless Baseband Transmission Experiments

A baseband transmission scheme for wireless communications has been proposed and examined using a pair of discone antennas for transmission and reception. The wireless baseband transmission scheme radiates a baseband signal stream, such as non-return-to-zero (NRZ), return-to-zero (RZ), or Manchester encoded signals, directly from an antenna. Namely, a carrier in terms of a sinusoidal radio wave...

Optimization of Distillation Column Operation by Simulated Annealing

Abstract: In this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. First, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. The area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as Irreversibility Index in the whole column. Then, First Opti...
