AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on comparing dipole-based phased arrays with loop and folded dipole antenna arrays. It highlights that while half-wave dipole arrays are commonly used, folded dipole arrays are also employed, particularly in collinear or planar spiral configurations at VHF and UHF frequencies. Participants suggest that for detailed performance comparisons, consulting technical literature in electrical engineering is advisable. The conversation encourages further inquiries, emphasizing the availability of diverse expertise within the forum. Overall, the need for practical performance data on these antenna types remains a central theme.

Hi friends

I need some very accurate and practical comparisons of

Dipole constituted phased arrays

OVER

Loop antenna ,Folded Dipole Antenna constituted phased arrays.

we normally use half wave dipole antenna arrays...why don't other not much in practice??

Plz reply details or upload a document purely on performance comparison.

Best regards

Welcome to the Physics forums! You raise some interesting questions. Actually, in practise, we do see phased folded dipole arrays. They are typically used in collinear or planar spiral arrangement at VHF and UHF wavelengths.

Sorry I cannot help you with performance comparisons. If I needed to know this, my strategy would be to go to my nearest technical library and start pulling books in the EE section on antenna arrays. Last time I was at the library there were quite a few on that topic.

Feel free to ask more questions, there are people here covering a broad area of expertise.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
