Which of the following is characteristic of the parabolic dish antenna?
  • Feedhorn located behind the parabolic reflector.
  • Correct Answer
    Feedhorn adjusted to the focal point of the antenna.
  • Most often used on high frequencies (3-30 MHz).
  • Low gain, highly directional radiation pattern.

Which of the following best describes a phased array antenna system?
  • RF from the feedline array is dissipated by a single antenna element.
  • RF from a multiple feedline array is dissipated by a single antenna element.
  • Correct Answer
    RF from multiple antennas is varied to produce a desired radiation pattern.
  • RF from multiple antennas is combined to produce unity gain.

What is a best practice for installing Inmarsat satellite antennas aboard ship?
  • Correct Answer
    Install antennas as high as practical, free from shadowing of structures.
  • Install antennas next to other Inmarsat antennas, away from structures.
  • Connect the antenna to transmission line with the highest characteristic impedance.
  • Install an inline filter with the transmission line to attenuate frequencies above 1 GHz.
