Why should the radio antenna at the base station be mounted as high as possible?

The higher the base station antenna mast of the TVWS system is, the higher the DTT channel signal levels will be at the antenna. These high DTT signal levels present a huge challenge for the low-power TVWS terminal uplink connectivity to the base station.

What are the three possible base station antenna configurations?

Three principles of designing base-station antennas are proposed: wide band impedance match, stable radiation patterns in wide frequency band and high cross polarization ratio in wide angle range.

What is channel 19 on a CB radio?

Any authorized CB radio frequency is open to all, but some have agreed-upon special purposes. For instance, channel 9 is for emergency use, and channel 19 is used by truckers to report on traffic conditions. Channel 19 is at the middle of the bands, thus has the best antenna efficiency.

How long is a full wave CB antenna?

39.34 feet long
The CB portion of the spectrum begins at 25.01 megahertz, so a full wavelength antenna would be a bit more than 39.34 feet long. That’s obviously a little long to attach to your bumper, so people tend to use antennas that are a fraction of the wavelength: 1/2, 5/8, 1/4 and 1/8 are all common wavelengths for antennas.

What happens if you transmit without an antenna?

Yes, transmitting without an antenna can destroy your finals, but due to the high voltage needed to maintain the high current flowing through the pullup inductor, since it can’t flow through the non-existent load. The excessive voltage then causes the FET to go into avalanche.

How does a base station antenna work?

A base station will have one or more radio frequency (RF) antennas to transmit and receive RF signals to other devices. Base stations are also central points that all clients connect to in a hub and spoke style network; it would not be a client among similar peers.
