DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A~ PARABOLIC ANTENNA

Abstract

This ·project is based on receiving signal, which antenna and it component are inevitable instrument that receive the wave-transmitted signal. However, my is basically on the process involved in the design, construction and testing of parabolic antenna. For receiving signal, from any nearer by T. V Station. An iron sheet was used to construct a parabolic disk of about O.60m in diameter with afocal. point of O.20m on passing aluminum rod through the focal point. the electromagnetic wave (rays) which incidented on the surface of the parabola converged at the forcus after reflection was collected by this dipole. When this apparatus was connected t~ the television, a brighter reception was obtained for NT A Minna depending on the direction of the antenna surface. This implies that the parabolic antenna also aid in communication transmission by receiving Electromagnetic waves inform of unguided mode, and transform such signal into the required form
