The reasons for the use of antenna covers and classification details https://www.whwireless.com/  Estimated 5 minutes to finish reading Outdoor antennas are often attacked by wind and rain, resulting in the reduction of antenna transmission capacity, so we also need a protective device to maintain the normal operation of the antenna. Antenna cover is a structure to protect the antenna system from external environment, it has good electromagnetic wave penetration characteristics in electrical performance, mechanical performance can withstand the role of external harsh environment. This article will discuss the purpose and classification of antenna masks from the point of view of why they are needed. Radome for parabolic antenna, 400mm diameter I. Why do we need a radome? 1、Protect the antenna system from wind and rain, ice and snow, sand and dust and solar radiation, make the antenna system work more stable and reliable, at the same time reduce the antenna system wear, corrosion and aging, prolong the service life. 2, eliminate wind load and wind moment, reduce the driving power of the rotating antenna, reduce the weight of the mechanical structure, reduce inertia and improve the inherent frequency. 3、The relevant equipment and personnel can work inside the cover, not affected by the external environment, improve the efficiency of the use of equipment and improve the working conditions of the operator. 4, for high-speed flight of the aircraft, the radome can solve the high temperature, aerodynamic load and other load to the antenna brought about by the problem. However, it should be noted that the radome is an obstacle in front of the antenna, which will produce absorption and reflection of the antenna radiation wave, change the free space energy distribution of the antenna, and affect the electrical performance of the antenna to some extent. → Cause analysis. The reflection of the antenna hood wall and the uneven part of the bypass will cause the antenna main flap electric axis offset, thus producing aiming error; The antenna hood on high frequency energy absorption and reflection will cause transmission loss, thus affecting the antenna gain (receive when the system noise temperature increase); The antenna hood caused by the antenna flap distortion, so that the antenna main flap width change, zero depth increase and side flap level increase. 1710~2700MHz 6dBi gain omni-directional PRO series antenna, N-type female connector, glass fiber radome Second, the classification of the radome 1, From the use of the two categories of aviation type and ground (including ship) type. 2, from the electrical according to the antenna radiation wave incidence angle is divided into vertical incidence radome and large incidence angle radome. Radiation wave rays and the angle of the wall normal for the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is less than 30°, called vertical incidence radome. Antenna in the hood scan to any position, the incidence angle of c...

The structure of antenna radome and the 5 main types www.whwireless.com Estimated 6 minutes to finish reading We have already introduced the advantages of antenna radomes before, in this article we will start with the structure of radomes and discuss their main structural forms, as well as the material composition and specific use of radomes under different structures. I, the structure design of the antenna radome The difference between the structure of the radome and other building structures is that the design of the structure type, component size, cover wall thickness, material selection and structural details must be considered electrical characteristics. 1. Canopy wall thickness: related to the working wavelength. Electrically, in order to minimise reflections, a uniform single wall thickness or core thickness of the sandwich structure must be designed according to the working wavelength. However, the chosen wall thickness must be able to withstand the expected maximum aerodynamic load and other loads without being damaged or without producing large deformations. The specific choice of wall thickness should be based on the working wavelength, radome size and shape, environmental conditions, materials used in electrical and structural performance of each other. 2, material selection: the radome wall media materials to be considered factors are: in the working frequency of the dielectric constant and loss angle tangent to low, to have sufficient mechanical strength. Generally speaking, the inflatable radome commonly used coated with sea Palon rubber or neoprene polyester fiber film; rigid radome with glass fiber reinforced plastic; sandwich structure in the sandwich more with honeycomb core or foam. Aviation radome generally with glass fiber reinforced plastic, ceramic, glass - ceramic and laminate. 3, specific structure: the uneven part of the radome will cause high frequency energy bypass and reflection, therefore, in the radome wall where the high frequency energy through the part generally should not set reinforcement, because it may make the shell radome produce local or overall instability, or produce large deformation, thus bringing many restrictions to the structural design and cover size. In order to facilitate the manufacture, installation and transportation, must be made into a large rigid radome block type, spherical connection shall be set flange, resulting in the cover wall is not uniform. Therefore, in the design generally through the electrical performance test and structural performance test, to find a good overall performance of the connection scheme. In addition, the metal components or metal connections used should be such that their electrical shading is minimised. 700/960/1710/27003800/4800MHz 8dBi gain 5G 4G omni-directional PRO series antenna, N-type female connectorX2 WH-5G-MM8x2 Second, the introduction of 5 kinds of common antenna cover 1、Aerial antenna radome Generally for shell structure.

Detailed analysis of the 8 core parameters of antennas 2021-11-26 www.whwireless.com Estimated 6 minutes to finish reading Antennas have always been the key focus of attention in the field of connectivity products, we have previously carried out a preliminary introduction and analysis according to the type of antenna, but in this large segment of the antenna, it is necessary to know further its key parameters in order to understand more deeply the advantages and use of each type of antenna. The following parameters are divided into two main parts: radiation parameters and circuit parameters, which we will analyse precisely and quickly introduce the meaning of them. Front-to-back ratio The antenna's front-to-back ratio is the ratio of the power flux density in the maximum radiation direction of the main flap (specified as 0°) to the maximum power flux density near the opposite direction (specified as within 180°±30°) F/B=10log(front-to-back power/backward power). Electric down tilt angle The electric down tilt angle is the maximum radiation pointing on the vertical radiation surface of the communication antenna and the angle of the antenna normal. Communication antenna is divided into fixed down tilt antenna and electric tilt antenna according to whether it supports electric down tilt adjustment: fixed down tilt antenna refers to the fixed down tilt antenna generated by the amplitude and phase assignment of the antenna radiation unit array according to the wireless coverage demand; and electric tilt antenna refers to the phase difference of different radiation units in the array through phase shifting unit to produce different radiation main flap down tilt state, usually the down tilt state of electric tilt antenna Only within a certain adjustable angle range. Wave speed width In the direction of the diagram usually have two flaps or more flaps, which is the largest flap called the main flap, the rest of the flap called the secondary flap. The angle between the two half-power points of the main flap is defined as the width of the flap of the antenna directional diagram. Called half power (angle) flap width. The narrower the main flap flap width, the better the direction, the stronger the anti-interference ability. Generally speaking, the narrower the main flap beam width of the antenna, the higher the antenna gain. Antenna gain Gain and antenna size and beam width of the relationship. The flatter the "tyre", the more concentrated the signal, the higher the gain, the larger the antenna size, the narrower the beamwidth. → 3 important points to pay attention to in particular 1. Antennas are passive devices and do not generate energy. Antenna gain is only the ability to focus energy effectively in a particular direction to radiate or receive electromagnetic waves. 2, the gain of the antenna is generated by the superposition of oscillators. The higher the gain, the longer the length of the antenna. Gain increase 3dB, double the volume. 3, the higher th...

Antenna gain calculation 2021-10-22 www.whwireless.com Estimated 6minutes to finish reading Antenna gain is a very important part of the antenna knowledge structure, of course, is also one of the important parameters for the selection of antennas. Antenna gain for the quality of operation of the communication system also plays a big role, in general, the gain is mainly dependent on reducing the width of the vertical-oriented radiation flap, and in the horizontal plane to maintain the omnidirectional radiation performance. A, the definition of antenna gain. Antenna in a certain direction of the radiation power flux density and reference antenna in the same input power when the maximum radiation power flux density ratio. → Need to pay attention to the following points. (1) if not specially marked, antenna gain are referred to the maximum radiation direction gain. (2) Under the same conditions, the higher the gain, the better the directionality, the farther the wave propagates, i.e. the distance covered increases. However, the wave speed width will not be compressed, the narrower the wave flap, thus leading to poor uniformity of coverage. (3) Antennas are passive devices and do not generate energy. Antenna gain is only the ability to effectively concentrate energy to a particular direction of radiation or receive electromagnetic waves. Second, the formula for calculating antenna gain We can learn from the definition of antenna gain, antenna gain and antenna directional map has a close relationship, the narrower the main flap, the smaller the secondary flap, the higher the gain. 5G 4G 8dbi mimo antenna (1) For parabolic antenna, the gain can be approximated by the following equation. G(dBi) = 10Lg{4.5×(D/λ0)^2} *Note that D: paraboloidal diameter λ0: central operating wavelength 4.5: Statistically validated empirical data 2.4 GHz 13 dBi bipolar omnidirectional MIMO antenna - N-type female connector (2) For an upright omnidirectional antenna, the following equation can also be used to approximate G(dBi) = 10Lg{2L/λ0} *Note that L: Antenna length λ0: central working wavelength Third, gain and transmitting power The RF signal output from the radio transmitter, through the feeder (cable) to the antenna, by the antenna in the form of electromagnetic wave radiation out. After the electromagnetic wave reaches the receiving place, it is received by the antenna (only a very small part of the power is received) and sent to the radio receiver through the feeder. In the engineering of wireless networks it is therefore very important to calculate the transmitting power of the transmitter and the radiation capacity of the antenna. The transmitted power of a radio wave is the energy in a given frequency band range and is usually measured or measured in two ways. Power (W): a linear level relative to 1 watt (Watts). Gain (dBm): a proportional level relative to 1 milliwatt (Milliwatt). → The two expressions can be converted to each other. dBm = 10 x log[power mW] mW ...
