  35. Communications - Antennas What is the affect on the gain of antennas with frequency? When perfect impedance match – get 100% transfer to antenna 100% Perfect impedance match – get VSWR = 1.0 35 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  36. Communications - Antennas What is the affect on the gain of antennas with frequency? What happens when VSWR > 1.0? Reflected wave <100% forward wave Output power of antenna (gain) is less off resonant frequency. 36 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  37. Communications - Antennas What is the affect on the gain of antennas with frequency? The gain on all antennas are frequency sensitive. 37 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  40. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Horizontal electric field lines (A) (B) (C) Electric field lines from a ½ wave antenna Ground Horizontal polarized antenna 40 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  41. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Circular Polarization Helical Antenna Spiraling electric field 41 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  42. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Rotating electric field Looking to forward end of antenna Counter clockwise rotating LHP – left hand polarization Looking to forward end of antenna Clockwise rotating RHP – left hand polarization Circular Polarized Helical Antenna 42 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  43. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Polarized Antenna Coupling 43 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  44. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization V polarization? H polarization? LH circular? RH circular? What type of antenna polarization should be used on satellites and ground stations? What about when satellite is coming toward you? V polarization? H polarization? LH circular? RH circular? What about when satellite is going away from you? 44 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design

  45. Communications - Antennas Antenna Polarization Didn’t answer the question of polarization on the ground and on the satellite??? Something tricky happens to the polarization as the RF passes through the atmosphere to and from the satellite. We will find out when we look further at the link equations. 45 Introduction to Space Systems and Spacecraft Design Space Systems Design
