Antenna Types in Wireless Communication

- Overview

As an important part of the wireless communication system, the antenna plays an irreplaceable role. In our life, there are many kinds of wireless communication needs, such as long-distance wireless communication, short-range wireless communication, satellite wireless communication, microwave wireless communication, mobile phone wireless communication, point-to-point wireless communication, point-to-point wireless communication, etc. Face-to-face wireless communication, etc.

Different wireless communication requirements correspond to the use of different types of antennas, wireless communication frequency bands, and different wireless communication systems, so different types of antennas are required.

The design and selection of different types of antennas is an important part of the design of wireless transceivers in RF systems. A good RF wireless antenna system can optimize the communication distance. The size of the same type of antenna is proportional to the wavelength of the radio frequency signal. The lower the signal frequency, the larger the antenna required.

There are many different types of antennas used in wireless communications. The types of antennas include horn antennas, parabolic antennas, helical antennas, slot antennas, dielectric antennas, patch antennas, phased array antennas, dipole antennas, directional antennas, folded dipole antennas, ground plane antennas, Yagi antennas, and logarithmic periodic antenna etc.
