Module 2 Report

 Principle of Radio Frequency (RF):

 AC = alternating current (sine wave)
 Hertz (Hz) = numbers of cycles per seconds (unit of frequency)
 RF energy = High frequency sine wave (we use the S-band)
 Wavelength = distance between the full +ve and -ve alteration of that frequency
 Speed of light = wavelength * frequency

 Phase shift:
 Wave have primary signal, 90 shift, 180 shift
 Wavelength used to determine the physical size (width, height, lenghth) and current
carrying capability of conductor
 If 2 similar wave length are on the same shift they will be added
 If 2 similar wave length have 180 shift they will be substracted

 Fields:
 E-field = the electrical property of sine wave
 H-field = the magnetic property of sine wave
 E-filed>current>H-field
 E-filed is perpendicular by 90 to the H-field

 Factors:
 Skin effect: higher frequency = higher resistance
 To solve skin effet increase surface area (by increasing diameter, multiple conductors,
using shielded coaxial cable, using waveguide)
 Best choice is waveguide
 Using the insulation (wavelength/4 for the stub) and high frequency to avoid short circuit
 Modt used shape for waveguide is rectangular shape
 Loop or magnetic coupling is used to introduce or extract RF signals from waveguide
