  2. Return loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_loss

    Increasing return loss corresponds to lower SWR. Return loss is a measure of how well devices or lines are matched. A match is good if the return loss is high. A high return loss is desirable and results in a lower insertion loss. From a certain perspective 'Return Loss' is a misnomer. The usual function of a transmission line is to convey ...

  3. Squint (antenna) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squint_(antenna)

    Frequency-dependant phase shifting of the elements of the array can be used to compensate for the squint, [4] which leads to the concept of a squintless antenna or feed. [5] Design In some cases the antenna may be designed to create a squint. For example, an antenna which is used to communicate with a satellite but must remain in a vertical ...

  4. Ruze's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruze's_Equation

    Ruze's equation is an equation relating the gain of an antenna to the root mean square (RMS) of the antenna's random surface errors. The equation was originally developed for parabolic reflector antennas, and later extended to phased arrays. The equation is named after John Ruze, who introduced the equation in a paper he wrote in 1952. [1]

  5. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    The loss resistance and efficiency of an antenna can be calculated once the field strength is known, by comparing it to the power supplied to the antenna. The loss resistance will generally affect the feedpoint impedance, adding to its resistive component.

  6. Orthomode transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomode_transducer

    The transmission signal of the up-link, of relatively high power (1, 2, or 5 watts for common VSAT equipment) originating from BUC and the very low power received signal power (in the order of μV) coming from the antenna to the LNB receiver unit, in this case are at an angle of 90° relative to each other, are both coupled together at the feed ...

  7. Radiation efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_efficiency

    In antenna theory, radiation efficiency is a measure of how well a radio antenna converts the radio-frequency power accepted at its terminals into radiated power. Likewise, in a receiving antenna it describes the proportion of the radio wave's power intercepted by the antenna which is actually delivered as an electrical signal.

  9. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    In telecommunications, the free-space path loss (FSPL) (also known as free-space loss, FSL) is the attenuation of radio energy between the feedpoints of two antennas that results from the combination of the receiving antenna's capture area plus the obstacle-free, line-of-sight (LoS) path through free space (usually air).
