Babinet’s Principle is actually the principle used in optics. According to its definition, “When the field behind a screen with an opening is added to the field of a complementary structure, the sum is equal to the field when there is no screen”The images clearly explain the principle. In all the regions, which are non-collinear with the beam, the above two screens, in figure 1 & 2, produce the same diffraction pattern.Case1Consider a light source and a conducting plane (field) with an aperture before a screen. The light does not pass through the opaque area but passes through the aperture.Case2Consider ...

Microstrip antennas are the low-profile antennas. A metal patch mounted on a ground level with a dielectric material in-between constitutes a Microstrip or Patch Antenna. These are very low size antennas having low radiation. The patch antennas are popular for low profile applications at frequencies above 100MHz.Construction and workingThe microstrip consists of a very thin metallic strip placed on a ground plane with a dielectric material in-between. The radiating element and feed lines are placed by the process of photo-etching on the dielectric material. Usually, the patch or microstrip is chosen to be square, circular or rectangular in shape for ...

To improve the radiation efficiency and directivity of the beam, the waveguide should be provided with an extended aperture so as to make the abrupt discontinuity of the wave into a gradual transformation, so that all the energy in the forward direction gets radiated. This can be termed as Flaring. Flaring is done to provide greater directivity and narrower beam width. The types of horn antennas depend on how they are flared.Sectoral HornThis type of horn antenna, flares out in only in one direction. Flaring in the direction of Electric vector produces the sectorial E-plane horn. As well, flaring in ...

A helical antenna is another type of wire antenna, which is widely used for a higher range of broadband VHF and UHF applications. The frequency range of operation of the helical antenna is around 30MHz to 3GHz.Helical antenna or helix antenna is the antenna in which the conducting wire is wound in a helical shape and connected to the ground plate with a feeder line. It is the simplest antenna which provides circularly polarized waves and used in extra-terrestrial communications in which satellite relays etc., are involved.It consists of a helix of thick copper wire or tubing wound in the ...

The FM receiver is the whole unit which takes the modulated signal as input and outputs the original audio signal. Radio amateurs are the initial radio receivers. They had got drawbacks such as poor sensitivity and selectivity.Selectivity is the selection of a particular signal while rejecting the others. Sensitivity is the capacity of detecting RF signal and demodulating it, while at the lowest power level. Both Selectivity and Sensitivity should be high for an FM receiver. To overcome these drawbacks of the ordinary receiver, the superheterodyne receiver was invented. This FM receiver consists of 5 main stages.RF Tuner SectionThe modulated ...
