What is 140?

Lavanya said:   1 decade ago
140 is for antenna factor.

Goldy said:   1 decade ago
Please explain in detail.

140c/wavelength.

Kc/wavelength.

Where k is a factor which varies slightly depending on the shape of the reflector and the feed illumination pattern. For an ideal uniformly illuminated parabolic reflector and θ in degrees, k would be 57.3 (the number of degrees in a radian). For a "typical" parabolic antenna k is approximately 70.

How 140?

@All.

Beam width b/w half power points in a parabolic reflector = 70 * (lambda/diameter).

Therefore, beam width b/w first nulls = 2 * half power bw.

Then, we get 140.

I think 140 (λ) /diameter then we get above equation.

Ayush Kumar said:   8 years ago
Yes beam width = 140(lambda)/diameter.

Sreeram said:   8 years ago
(140 (wavelength))/diameter.

Why 140?
