In a typical mobile satellite array antenna, if three elements are activated, how many elements are deactivated? Correct Answer 11
Solution
Concept
- A mobile satellite array antenna consists of 14 dual patch antennas
- These are located in a truncated cone elevated at an angle of 40∘ to the ground plane
- Each element has a gain of approximately 8.5dBi
- This gain is increased by activating a subarray of M adjacent elements that face the satellite
- A radial divider is used which activates M adjacent elements in the array and deactivates the remaining (14-M) elements
Calculation
We have M =3 ,elements activated
⇒(14 - 3)=11 antenna elements are deactivated
Hence the correct option is 1
