Introduction This Annex discusses the problem of specifying reas
27、onable standards for the directivity of antennas in the various types of radio service, and for various distances, in the bands between 4 and 28 MHz with due regard to economy of cost. It is mainly concerned with point-to-point circuits longer than 4000 km but, with suitable modifications, could be
28、applied to shorter range circuits. The technique discussed requires a knowledge of the gain of the antenna under consideration and the angular widths in zenith and azimuth of its main beam of radiation. With this information a directivity factor is derived which, used in conjunction with certain oth
29、er factors, for example, transmitter power and provision cost, may be used to assess the suitability of an antenna for any particular application. 2. Proposition An antenna possessing a given directivity which radiates all its power in a single beam could be regarded as having the best attainable pe
30、rformance of its class. Communication systems using such antennas for emission and reception could operate on a common frequency with a given spatial distribution without risk of mutual interference, the only condition being that each receiving antenna should “see” only the wanted transmitting anten
31、na. With such an ideal arrangement the number of systems sharing the same frequency would increase as a function of the gain of the antennas because of their smaller angular beamwidth. By making certain simplifying but justifiable assumptions, it can be shown that to a high degree of approximation t
32、here is a fixed relationship between the directivity (relative to an isotropic radiator) and the angular widths of this single beam (to the null) as follows: (00 and cpo are the horizontal and vertical angular widths respectively, in radians and P, PO are the total powers radiated from the ideal ant
33、enna and the isotropic radiator respectively to produce the same field in the desired direction). Practical antennas fall some way short of this ideal in that a proportion of the power is radiated (or received) in directions other than in the main beam. If the directivity of such an antenna is G and
34、 the widths of its main beam are 00, cpo, then from equation (i), the power radiated in the main beam: If this represents a fraction q of the total radiated power, or COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU RadiocommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling ServicesCCIR RECMN*362-3 92
35、4855232 0539387 632 = Rec. 162-3 259 Thus, from the measured or computed characteristics of an antenna it is possible to determine its radiation efficiency, i.e. the fraction of the total radiated power that is directed in the main beam. The power radiated outside the main beam of a transmitting ant
36、enna which is liable to set up interfering signals is given by: If this were distributed evenly over the residual hemisphere outside the lunar arc 80 the average power flux would be: Since the maximum flux in the main beam is Pd47c, one can write: Maximum useful signal power flux Average interfering
37、 signal power flux G (27c - eo) (1 - q) 47c - As is well known, the spatial distribution of flux outside the main beam will vary widely and values considerably in excess of the average will be found. It would seem appropriate to express this as a probability distribution in such a way that its effec
38、t in degrading the signal-to-interference ratio appears as a term in the directivity factor of the antenna. To do this would require a knowledge of the minor beam flux distributions of a large sample of practical antennas and because insufficient information of this nature is available an alternativ
39、e approach must be adopted, The method used is to derive an antenna directivity factor based on the assumption that all the misdirected power appears as a number of equi-amplitude secondary beams and to apply an adjusmient when individual secondary beam amplitudes are likely to be significant to a p
40、articular problem e.g. frequency sharing studies. If the same power distribution (cosine-squared) as that assumed for the main beam is used then, for the secondary beams: -l2=Zz- 2n2 - 3.36 (5.3 dB) and one can then write: G (2 - eo) - Maximum useful signal power flux Maximum interfering signal powe
41、r flux (1 - q) 4n x 3.36 One further modification to the formula is necessary to take account of what has been called the “propagation match” of the antenna: various studies have shown that for long distances (4000 km), circuit performance improves as the vertical angle of the main beam maximum of t
42、he antenna is reduced.

Determination of directivity When the measured characteristics of antennas are available, particularly the (power) gain and angular beamwidths, calculation of the figure of merit, M, is straightforward provided th
46、e power efficiency of the antenna is known. In many instances, however, it will be necessary to evaluate paper designs and special care is needed in the case of the rhombic antenna. Although the angular dimensions of the main beam and the vertical angle of the main beam maximum can be predicted with
47、 sufficient accuracy by a calculation which assumes constant current in the antenna wires, the gain so calculated is generally optimistic and must be corrected before it can be used in the M factor formula. This correction may be considered in two parts. 3.1 Adjustment for power dissipation in the t
48、ermination, Ct This is, in effect, a conversion from measured (power) gain to directivity and is given for various configurations in Figs. la) and 3a). 3.2 Adjustment of current decay along the antenna, Cd This adjustment is necessary to convert (power) gain calculated from constant correct formulae
49、 to a value more nearly in conformity with the measured values on actual antennas and is given, for the same configurations, in Figs. lb) and 3b). For convenience these curves are combined in Figs. 2 and 4, which enables the calculated (power) gain to be converted directly to directivity. The full-line portions of these curves represent the normal design range. All the curves are derived from measurements made on the power efficiencies of rhombic antennas in which a linearly tapered current decay dong the antennas was assumed.
