Antenna practice

Arduino Antenna Rotator Controller

A practical antenna note for Arduino Antenna Rotator Controller, connecting geometry, feed point, installation environment, measurement, and tuning.

Antenna practice

The antenna includes its environment

To understand Arduino Antenna Rotator Controller, consider geometry, height, ground, nearby objects, feed line, and the exact measurement plane.

  1. 01

    Geometry

    Length, spacing, diameter, and symmetry change resonance and pattern.

  2. 02

    Feed point

    Impedance, balance, common mode, and coax loss can dominate the result.

  3. 03

    Measurement

    Record height, environment, and calibration plane; an SWR curve alone does not describe the whole antenna.

Return to the whole system

From the antenna to the operator.
