ResumenUsing antenna tie shaped funcionmiento for better anten- na, increasing its bandwidth. is an antenna which functions to 8GHz. working frequency will depend on the distance and angle that form in Figure tie. This antenna is easy to fabricate and presents a very ecient, making it well known. For ecient operation frequency must engage the angle between the two plates that make up the loop, as these measures qua plachas both width and length. 1. Introduction The Bow Tie Antenna is a simple design that can be found in many variations. While very inexpensive to build, this design is able to pull in stations from 45 and 50 miles away. In Figure 1, we have an antenna that is specied solely by the angle between the two metal pieces, D. The antenna feed (where the radio positive and negative terminals connect to the antenna) is at the center of the antenna. Our antenna here is innitely long in both directions, so that wavelength never comes into the equation. As a result, this antenna would theoretically have an innite bandwidth, because if it works at one frequency (any frequency), it must work at ALL frequencies, because the antenna looks the same at all wavelengths. This is a nice antenna. g.1: Loop Antenna Form In terms of making a real antenna, we can take the simple approach and just clip it after some distance and seeing what happens. The result is the loop antenna (also known as a buttery antenna, or a biconical antenna). The real bow tie antenna is fed with a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable is soldered along the lower arm of the antenna, the purpose of this is to minimize the impact of the antenna feed cable on the antenna. This is similar to using a balun.the antenna, the purpose of this is to minimize the impact of the antenna feed cable on the antenna. This is similar to using a balun. We see that the bow-tie antenna has much better bandwidth than a thin-wire dipole antenna. In general, antennas with more volume have wider bandwidth. More radiation modes can t on the structure when the current is less constrained. Note that the fractional bandwidth of a thin wire dipole antenna is about 8 2. Numerical and Experimental Results The power antenna (where the positive and negative terminals are connected radio antenna) is in the center of the antenna. g.2: Antenna simulation in HFSS Our antenna of Figure 2 will operate in the frequency 8Ghz, which would be a half-wavelength L = c/2/F where L = 10mm long. The real bow tie antenna of Figure 1 is fed with a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable is welded along the lower arm of the antenna - the purpose of this is to minimize the impact of the power cord antenna The analysis will be performed between 8 12 GHz. Therefore the minimum distance between the air volume wall and the radiating aperture should be one quarter wavelength at 8 GHz, or 0.25*(3e11/8e9) = 9.375mm. The following dimensions round this up to 9.5mm spacing. 2 g.3 Frequency curve Of The Bow Tie Antenna g.4: Radiation pattern Of The Bow Tie Antenna 3. Conclusions With this result we see that the antenna has much better bandwidth a thin wire dipole antenna. In general, the more volume antennas have broader bandwidth. More radiation modes can t into the structure when the current is less limited. The bandwidth of these antennas is innite because it will not depend on the length of the antenna if your angle and it makes you have more radiation in both directions.
