Talk:Parabolic antenna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I wanted to include the gain equation, but ended up re-writing the article to add links to other antenna topics. My apologies to the original author for this usurpation. Also, it tacked my IP address on as my username rather than k7jeb, which I got after the article went to press. Jim, K7JEB, amateur radio...
[edit] Major edit
This page needs a major edit. Perhaps sections could be written on parabolic antennas used specificly with radio-astronomy, Wi-Fi and satellite-tv, them being the most common applications currently. I added a few basic drawings as well as paragraphs on structure and feeding. Also a description and comparison of general antenna characteristics should be added. Again from different perspectives: professional, amateur-radio, military signal and consumer equipment... OH3GPJ --Miikka Raninen 23:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- It seems to me that, rather than focus on individual applications of this antenna type, the article should draw together the common features exhibited across the application-specific designs. The fields of application should be mentioned in passing, but not have individual paragraphs dedicated to them.
- But this being Wikipedia, there's nothing stopping anyone from adding whatever points they feel are necessary to the article. Jim, K7JEB 01:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
