How is the radiation pattern of a parabolic reflector antenna plotted?
The paraolic antenna has a high degree of "directivity" compared to many other antennas. That gives these puppies big gain. But they need to be pointed in the "right" direction to work well. This antenna design is used in many radar (and other microwave) applications, as well as in satellite communication. And is has a home with radio astronomers, too, but they're usually listening instead of transmitting. It has a parabolic reflector, and some kind of support for the feedhorn, sub-reflector or whatever is at the focus. We're talking about a transmission antenna here, so there will be some kind of feed assembly to put the signal onto the parabolic reflector to "send out" or transmit that signal. How do we test it? It's so simple that you're not gonna believe it. The reflector can be modified a bit to "broaden" the primary lobe of the radiated signal either horizontally or vertically. But let's work with a simple parabolic reflector. Imagine a parabolic antenna that is fixed so it's stationary. Let's look at which way the signal goes. There are two variables to assess when plotting the radiated pattern, and they are usually referenced to the "direction" or "directivity" of the antenna, or the direction of what might be termed the primary lobe or beam of the radiation. Put another way, there is one direction that is the "center of the beam" for this antenna, and once we establish this line, we reference to it. Something is either left or right of the line by "x" number of degrees, or something is above or below the line by "y" degrees. You gonna put this up on a pole and walk around measuring radiated power at different points left or right of, or above or below the beam? Remember I said this was ease? Put the antenna on a stand and make it point horizontally. Make that stand like a heavy duty lazy susan so the whole thing rotates. Hook up a signal generator to it, and put in the desired operating frequency. (The signal generator won't be generating high power, and that's okay. A milliwatt isn't even necessary for the test.) We're now ready to transmit, and that's our test antenna setup. Step off a hundred meters (or whatever) and set up a receiving antenna (pointed at the antenna under test and at the same level). Hook up a receiver to the receiving antenna so that signal strength can be measured. Turn on your equipment and rotate the turntable slowly. As the turntable rotates, it causes the antenna being tested to "sweep" the horizon with its little output signal. As it moves around, the receiver will be getting more and more and more signal, or less and less and less signal, depending on whether the test antenns is sweeping toward or away from the receiver. With a computer hooked up to the receiver (via a handy IEEE bus) and doing some recording, a relative signal strength can be plotted. Presto! You've got a 360o plot of the relative output signal strength. All you have to do is raise you receiving antenna a touch, and then point it down a tiny bit so it's aimed directly at the test antenna. Then turn the test antenna and record for another 360o view at a bit high of beam center. Keep moving up the receiving antenna in steps, realigning it, and testing a circle. Do this for a bunch of vertical levels above beam center. Then come back and do it again for a bunch of levels below beam center. You're done! The trick is to set up the test antenna on a turntable and point it flat out and level with the horizon, and then to begin with a receiving antenna level with and pointed directly at the test antenna. The turntable does most of the work, and it makes it easy. The work is in raising or lowering the receiving antenna in calculated steps and realigning it at each step to point it directly at the test antenna. By the time the test crew get finished, the computer can plot a nice 3D chart (in the form of a thick cylinder with the test antenna at the center that will demonstrate the performance of that test antenna.

What is virtual height of antenna?
Since the ionosphere have different types of layers namely D,E and F layers. So when a pulse transmitted from transmitter it get deflected or we can say reflect by these different layers and reaches to the receiver.Thus the path followed by the pulse is the Actual path.The distance between the highest point of actual path and the earth surface is called Actual height.When a short pulse of energy sent vertically upward and traveling with the speed of light would reach taking the same two rays travel time as does the actual pulse reflected from the ionospheric layers. that height is known as Virtual height of an antenna.
What people meant by Master Pin code or Key when they talk about a Digital Satellite Receiver Why and how the key of a specific digital satellite receiver is used?
Yet another sat receiver hacking question?Do your research on the 'net. It's all there, but you need to actually take the time to read what people are writing, rather than ask questions. This isn't the forum for finding information about illegal activities such as satellite receiver hacking.
Is it possible tx and rx at same wavelength at the same time?
No, it is not possible for a transceiver (tx and rx) to operate at the exact same wavelength at the same time. This is because the transmitter and receiver need to use distinct frequencies to distinguish between outgoing and incoming signals to prevent interference.
What transmission range can a Silver Rod Antenna achieve.?
That depends on how and where the antenna is mounted, how it's grounded, the shapeand efficiency of the ground plane, how it's interfaced to the transmitter, the frequencyit's used for, the atmospheric and ionospheric conditions at the time it's used, the poweroutput of the transmitter, how heavily the band is occupied at the time it's used, andthe listening skill of the operators at both ends of the communication.
What is narrow bandwidth antenna?
An antenna (or aerial) is an electrical device which converts electric currents into radio waves, and vice versa. It is usually used with a radio transmitter or radio receiver. In transmission, a radio transmitter applies an oscillating radio frequency electric current to the antenna's terminals, and the antenna radiates the energy from the current as electromagnetic waves (radio waves). In reception, an antenna intercepts some of the power of an electromagnetic wave in order to produce a tiny voltage at its terminals, that is applied to a receiver to be amplified. An antenna can be used for both transmitting and receiving.Antennas are essential components of all equipment that uses radio. They are used in systems such as radio broadcasting, broadcast television, two-way radio, communications receivers, radar, cell phones, and satellite communications, as well as other devices such as garage door openers, wireless microphones, bluetooth enabled devices, wireless computer networks, baby monitors, and RFID tags on merchandise.Typically an antenna consists of an arrangement of metallic conductors ("elements"), electrically connected (often through a transmission line) to the receiver or transmitter. An oscillating current of electrons forced through the antenna by a transmitter will create an oscillating magnetic field around the antenna elements, while the charge of the electrons also creates an oscillating electric field along the elements. These time-varying fields radiate away from the antenna into space as a moving electromagnetic field wave. Conversely, during reception, the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of an incoming radio wave exert force on the electrons in the antenna elements, causing them to move back and forth, creating oscillating currents in the antenna.Antennas may also contain reflective or directive elements or surfaces not connected to the transmitter or receiver, such as parasitic elements, parabolic reflectors or horns, which serve to direct the radio waves into a beam or other desired radiation pattern. Antennas can be designed to transmit or receive radio waves in all directions equally (omnidirectional antennas), or transmit them in a beam in a particular direction, and receive from that one direction only (directional or high gain antennas).The first antennas were built in 1888 by German physicist Heinrich Hertz in his pioneering experiments to prove the existence of electromagnetic waves predicted by the theory of James Clerk Maxwell. Hertz placed dipole antennas at the focal point of parabolic reflectors for both transmitting and receiving.

Why do radio altimeter have 2 antennas where as weather radar have 1?
A RADAR altimeter must have 2 antennas (one transmit, one receive) so that it can operate continuously making altitude measurements by matching modulation and carrier phase of received signal with transmitted signal.A weather RADAR needs only 1 antenna because it operates in a pulsed multiplex mode: the antenna is used as a transmitter antenna to send a short pulse of carrier, then is used as a receiver until the last possible reflection from the furthest distance could return. During this time the antenna has rotated only a tiny amount. The transmit/receive multiplex cycle continues as the antenna rotates 360 degrees.A targeting RADAR operates much like the weather radar but it sweeps back and forth over a limited angle instead of in a full 360 degree circle. (e.g. 120 degrees, 90 degrees, 60 degrees, 45 degrees)
What are your options to get video and audio from studio to transmitter site?
A microwave transmitter, either in real-time or coded in files. The internet is possible, but the quality is too poor for broadcast unless it is news. Radio can use the telephone line.
What are Advantages and disadvantages of laser communication over radio communication?

How does wireless remote control for crane works?
Radio remote control: The wireless equipment or machines works on radio waves technology. The artificial radio wave is generated to control the electronic machine such as the overhead crane is called radio remote control. The overhead crane is used for industrial purposes which move and travels above the head at a particular height. The device can move the EOT crane in different directions like cross travel, long travel, and hoist. The hoist is used for lifting and lowering heavy objects. The transmitter and receiver are the two main components that are used for sending and receiving the signal for communication. The radio transmitter has various types such as 8 button radio remote, 12 button radio remote, and joystick radio remote control devices. These all types of devices have their features and specifications. Principle of wireless remote control for crane: The transmitter and receiver are used for communication to control the machines. The transmitter is a handy and small device that can be easily carried by one hand. The operator uses the transmitter device while the receiver is attached to the overhead crane. Communication happens between the transmitter and receiver when the transmitter sends the signal. Whenever the operator pushes the button on the transmitter device a data-packed is sent to the receiver in an encryption form. That means data is first converted to the cipher text from the plain text. When the signal reaches the receiver first decodes the data, the data is converted from cipher text to plain text. This encryption technique is used for the safety of data packets and the communication is not affected by the external entity. More than 10 times in a second communication happens between the transmitter and receiver. And the transmitter device can range from 10 meters to 200 meters distance for communication. While communicating with the receiver the transmitter device detects many things like how many data packets are sent, the communication, the speed of communication, the loss of data packets, successful transmission, number of errors, the signal quality, the distance, and many more. The hopping method is followed by the transmitter and receiver to circumvent unnecessary interference. The EOT crane remote control device provides the interlocked systems in a pair while in use. That means two buttons in a pair cannot be used at the same time. If an up button is pressed on the transmitter device at that time down button cannot be pressed. And we have to keep pressing the up button until the overhead reaches its destination. Features of overhead crane remote control systems: The radio remote control can range from 10 meters to 200 meters. The device uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band technology. The transmitter device is made in such a way that it prevents corrosion and shock. More than 10 times in a second communication happens between the transmitter and receiver. The communication can range from 10 meters to 200 meters. The transmitter device is highly optimized and customized while in use. The crane remote control coating is so strong that it can be used for harsh industrial conditions. The transmitter is a wireless device and works on the battery or charging systems. The remote control adjusts the power automatically according to the distance. The transmitter device works well at a very low battery also. Precedence of crane remote control: The main advantage of the crane remote control system is that it works on the battery or charging replacement system and hence the overhead crane can be operated from a long distance also. And the operator doesn't have to sit inside the crane which makes risk free. The battery used in the transmitter device is durable and can last long up to 6 months. The communication is very safe and secure between the transmitter and receiver. The communication happens rapidly i.e. 10 times in a second. The transmitter uses wireless technology for communication and if any error or lag is found in the systems then the transmitter stops working immediately. According to the distance, the power is automatically adjusted by the transmitter device. That means if the distance is less between the transmitter and receiver then less power is consumed by the device. And if the distance is far then the power is adjusted according to the distance.
How does transmitter works in echo sounder?
The echo sounder is essentially a speaker (transmitter) and microphone (receiver) in one single unit. The speaker sends out a pulse of sound, and the time taken (in seconds) for the pulse to return to the microphone is multiplied by 1.5. This gives the distance (in kilometres) to the object the echo sounder was 'aimed' at. The most common use is as a depth sounder for ships.
What do you need to do to program a remote entry control-- for a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING Up to 4 Transmitter Identification Codes (TIC’s) can be programmed into receiver at any given time. 1) Open driver’s door of vehicle. Leave it open through the programming procedure. 2) Move mechanical door lock lever to the LOCK position. 3) Insert ignition key and turn it to RUN position. 4) Turn ignition to RUN position. Within 20 seconds, aim a transmitter at receiver dome and press lock button, for at least 5 seconds. Once receiver accepts programming code the driver’s door will unlock. 5) Once first transmitter has been programmed, additional transmitters (up to 4) may be programmed into receiver. Within 20 seconds of the previous transmitter programming, move the mechanical door lock lever to LOCK position. Aim another transmitter at receiver dome and press LOCK button for at least 5 seconds. The door lock will cycle again. 6) To lock the programmed codes into the receiver, the ignition must be turned off and back on within 20 seconds after programming the last transmitter’s code. At that time, all previous codes are erased from the module.

How can you determine distance using remote sensing?
A radar emits electromagnetic radiation via a transmitter, and it has a directional antenna that measures the time of arrival of backscattered or reflected pulses of radiation from remote objects. The distance between the radar and object can be deduced using the speed of light.
