narrow-beam antenna
1beam antenna — A directional antenna that transmits its signals along a very narrow path. These antennae are advantageous both for transmitting and receiving. The forward gain enhances the range, and a good front to back ratio and narrow bandwidth aid in… …
2Fan-beam antenna — A fan beam antenna is a directional antenna producing a main beam having a narrow beamwidth in one dimension and a wider beamwidth in the other dimension. This pattern will be achieved by a truncated paraboloid reflector or a circular paraboloid… …
3Antenna (radio) — Whip antenna on car …
4beam — beamless, adj. beamlike, adj. /beem/, n. 1. any of various relatively long pieces of metal, wood, stone, etc., manufactured or shaped esp. for use as rigid members or parts of structures or machines. 2. Building Trades. a horizontal bearing… …
5Antenna gain — is defined as the ratio of the radiation intensity of an antenna in a given direction, to the intensity of the same antenna as it radiates in all directions (isotropically). Since the radiation intensity of an isotropically radiated power is… …
6Log-periodic antenna — In telecommunication, a log periodic antenna (LP, also known as a log periodic array) is a broadband, multielement, unidirectional, narrow beam antenna that has impedance and radiation characteristics that are regularly repetitive as a… …
7Parabolic antenna — A parabolic satellite communications antenna at Erdfunkstelle Raisting, the biggest facility for satellite communication in the world, in Raisting, Bavaria, Germany. It has a Cassegrain type feed. A parabolic antenna is an antenna that uses a… …
8Horn antenna — Pyramidal microwave horn antenna, with a bandwidth of 0.8 to 18 GHz. A coaxial cable feedline attaches to the connector visible at top. This type is called a ridged horn; the curving fins visible inside the mouth of the horn increase the antenna… …
9High-gain antenna — The high gain antenna (HGA) is an antenna with a focused, narrow radiowave beam width. This narrow beam width allows more precise targeting of the radio signal also known as a directional antenna. Most commonly referred to during space missions,… …
10Pencil beam — A pencil beam is a beam of radiant energy in the form of a narrow cone or cylinder.Antennas which strongly bundle in azimuth and elevation are often described as a pencil beam antenna. For example the phased array antenna can send out a beam thin …
