Transmission Line

A transmission line is the device used to guide radio frequency (RF) energy from

  • ne point to another (for

example a coaxial cable, a bifilar line or a waveguide). Every transmission line will attenuate the signal.

Transmission Line

The simplest transmission line is the bifilar line formed by two parallel conductors separated by air or an insulator. It will carry the RF signal from the source to the other end. There can be an alternating current even in an open ended transmission line, since the electrons will flow back and forth every half cycle

Transmission Line

The electric field at a distant point created by the each of the currents will be of the same magnitude but in

  • pposite direction and will therefore

cancel.

Omnidirectional antenna

An omnidirectional antenna spreads the signal evenly in every direction of the plane

Directional Antenna

A directional antenna forms a very narrow beam in a specific direction and very little energy is directed elsewhere. If the beam becomes much wider we will have a sectorial antenna

Sectorial Antenna

Spreads the signal in certain angle of the plane, for instance 45 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. Often combined in a base station to provide 360 degree coverage, for instances 3 sectors of 120 degrees each.
