Half-Power Beamwidth of Helical Antenna Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Half Power Beam Width = 52/(Helix Circumference*sqrt(Number of Turns of Helical Antenna*Turn Spacing))
B_hp = 52/(C_λ*sqrt(n*S))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Half Power Beam Width - (Measured in Radian) - Half Power Beam Width is the area where most of the power is radiated.
Helix Circumference - (Measured in Meter) - Helix circumference of an imaginary cylinder that the helix conductor is wound around expressed in wavelengths. The ideal value for a helical antenna is 1.0.
Number of Turns of Helical Antenna - Number Of Turns Of Helical Antenna is the number of identical parallel antennas are arranged along a line.
Turn Spacing - (Measured in Meter) - Turn Spacing in the antenna is the spacing between each turn of the antenna.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Helix Circumference: 0.8 Meter --> 0.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Number of Turns of Helical Antenna: 6.01 --> No Conversion Required
Turn Spacing: 35.3 Meter --> 35.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B_hp = 52/(C_λ*sqrt(n*S)) --> 52/(0.8*sqrt(6.01*35.3))

Evaluating ... ...

B_hp = 4.46260829077855

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.46260829077855 Radian -->255.688620681749 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

255.688620681749 ≈ 255.6886 Degree <-- Half Power Beam Width
