Its directional properties “compresses” the signal into a powerful beam that is 4 times more powerful in the desired direction. It is the ideal antenna for scanners, wireless LANs, and other wireless devices. Its directional properties make it exceptionally well suited for point-to-point links! The units small size and wide bandwidth also make it ideal for feeding reflector antennas, such as the easily constructed corner reflector or grid that are discussed later in the manual. ANTENNA DESCRIPTION To start with, what is a log periodic antenna? The seeming simplicity of the log periodic antenna belies the remarkable features of the design. It uses a common transmission line to alternately feed a group of 1/2 . dipoles that are strung together. These antennas together display excellent radiation qualities over a wide range of frequencies as well as relatively uniform input impedances and good VSWR characteristics. While the log periodic design has been around since the late 1950’s it has now been discovered to be at the cutting edge of antenna development. Looking at the physical layout of a log periodic antenna, one would see that it is comprised of multiple elements working together to provide a wide bandwidth of usable frequencies. The active (radiating or receiving radiation) portion of the antenna effectively shifts with frequency as one stage becomes ‘more resonant’ than the next. The lowest operating frequency is determined by the longest element and the highest operating frequency is set by the shortest element. As the frequency of the transmission (or reception) increases, the active region of the antenna shifts forward to the shorter 1/2 . dipole elements or vice versa as the frequency decreases. Obviously then the ‘secret’ for proper operation must lie in the length and spacing of the antenna elements. These and other factors must be carefully chosen to cover the desired frequency range for the antennas’ application. Instead of forcing you to figure out all the math and spend hours experimenting, the creation of ...
