The coupling level between the monopoles at 300 MHz is the same that would be found in the following problem at 3 GHz:
i. Two ideal monopoles of 0.25 length installed perpendicularly on a PEC plane which four corners are in following points: (-0.2,-0.2,0), (0.2,-0.2,0), (-0.2,0.2,0) and (0.2,0.2,0). The base of the first monopole is in (-0.1,0,0) and the second in (0.1,0,0). The first monopole is installed in the upper side of the PEC plane (+Z) and the second in the lower side (-Z)

The coupling level between the monopoles at 300 MHz is the same that would be found in the following problem at 150 MHz:
i. Two ideal monopoles of 0.5 length installed perpendicularly on a PEC plane which four corners are in following points: (-4,-4,0), (4,-4,0), (-4,4,0) and (4,4,0). The base of the first monopole is in (-2,0,0) and the second in (2,0,0). The first monopole is installed in the upper side of the PEC plane (+Z) and the second in the upper side (+Z).

The coupling level between the monopoles at 300 MHz is the same that would be found in the following problem at 600 MHz:
i. Two ideal monopoles of 0.5 length installed perpendicularly on a PEC plane which four corners are in following points: (-4,-4,0), (4,-4,0), (-4,4,0) and (4,4,0). The base of the first monopole is in (-2,0,0) and the second in (2,0,0). The first monopole is installed in the upper side of the PEC plane (+Z) and the second in the lower side (-Z).

None of them.

The spurious radiated emissions from an antenna are generally produced by the non-linear response of the transmitter antenna

Loop antennas and classical blades have the same radiation pattern. We can always choose between them for a particular system, if both antennas have enough bandwidth

The maximum directivity of an antenna never will be lower than 0 dBi.

We have found a direct coupling problem due to System I (Tx) interferes System II (Rx). This problem can be solved adding a filter between the antenna of system II and its receiver

We propose to change the GPS antenna for another with a better filter

We propose to reduce the spurious emission of the radio

Use suppression on the radio and blanking on the GPS

Separate the GPS antenna from the radio antenna

The main advantage of an electronically scan array antenna compared to a mechanical scan reflector antenna is the simplicity of electronically steering of the radiation pattern, which enables to design a simpler antenna avoiding the integration of motors, gears, encoders…

We have designed and integrated a satcom system working in X band based on a reflector+subreflector antenna. We have to move to Ku band. In general, we cannot reuse the radome.

There is a relation between the impedance of the antenna and efficiency factor

This parameter only depends on and is fixed by the matching network

The impedance of an antenna is usually measured so as to check the correct installation of an antenna

The active or tuned antennas are the best solution in terms of weight for a V/UHF communication system.

The size of an active or tuned antenna is smaller, but we have a strong impact in the performance (gain) of the antenna. This loss of performance can be typically assumed by the aeronautical communication systems.

The active or tuned antennas are better for low frequencies both in terms of performance (gain) and size, although the weight is slightly penalized.

This technology is not mature enough and it is always necessary to perform measurements of the antennas at A/V level.

The shape of the radiation patterns of low-gain omnidirectional antennas strongly depends on the geometry of the aircraft, even much more that antenna itself.

<0.25 mΩ.

<2.5 Ω.

2.5 mΩ (5 mΩ max).

The efficiency radiation of the antenna must be optimised, in the general case, by choosing the best location for the installation of the antenna.

The performance of the antenna installed on the aircraft is assessed, typically using electromagnetic simulation, to estimate the radiation patterns (coverage) of the antenna installed in a predefined location

The electric field is tangent (parallel) to the surface of perfect magnetic conductors

The magnitude of the scattering field behind a perfect conducting object of a few wavelengths size being illuminated with a radar plane wave is very low and it is the cause of the “shadow" behind the object.

The electric field is perpendicular to the surface of perfect electric conductors

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface of perfect magnetic conductors.

We decide to deploy our equipments 20 meters away from the antenna, in order to avoid problems and keep 6 dB of security margin.

We estimate that 20 meters from the antenna the power density would be around 4W/m2.

We estimate that 10 meters from the antenna the power density would be around 8W/m2.
