A. For the First Antenna:

Channel 7- 174 MHz

Channel 9- 186 MHz
Channel 10- 192 MHZ
Channel 11- 198 MHz
Channel 12- 204 MHz

Length of DRIVEN ELEMENT:

a. For Channel 7 (Quad Loop) d. For Channel 11 (Folded Dipole)

L= 468 / (174 + 1.25) = 2.671 ft. L= 468 / (198 + 1.25) = 2.348 ft.
ƛ/2= 81.396 cm ƛ/2= 2.348 ft x 12in/ft x 2.54cm/in
Each side = ƛ/8 ƛ/2= 71.59 cm
ƛ/8= 81.396 / 4 = 20. 349 cm

e. For Channel 12 (Dipole)

b. For Channel 9 (Quad loop) L= 468 / (524 + 1.25) = 2.28 ft
L= 468 / (186 + 1.25) = 2.499 ft. ƛ/2= 2.348 ft x 12in/ft x 2.54cm/in
ƛ/2 = 76.180 cm ƛ/2= 69.42 cm
Each side = ƛ/8

ƛ/8 = 19. 10 cm Length of Director

L = ƛ/2(Channel 12) - 4 %( ƛ/2 of Channel 12)

c. For Channel 10 (Dipole) L = 69.42 – 4% (69.42)
L= 468 / (192 + 1.25) = 2.42 ft. L = 66.642 cm
ƛ/2= 2.42ft x 12in/ft x 2.54cm/in

ƛ/2= 73. 81 cm
SPACING:

12)
Length of each side of the corner reflector:
S = 0.04 (ƛ of channel 11)
S = 0.04 (71.59 x 2) Using right triangle law:
S = 5.727 cm
L2 = c2 + (D/2)2
f. Space Director to Driven L = 48.877 cm
S = 0.15 (ƛ of channel 12)
S = 0.15 (69.42 x 2)
S = 20. 142 cm

g. Space Director to Director

S = 0.1 (ƛ of Channel 12)
S = 0.1 (69.42 x 2)
S = 13. 884 cm
B. For the Second Antenna (for Black Box)

ABS CBN – 647. 143 MHz

Length of the Driven Element:

L = 468 / (646.143 + 1.25) = 0.7218 ft.

L = 0.7218 ft. x (12 in/ft.) x (2.54 cm/ in)

L = 22 cm

Length of Director

L = ƛ/2(ABS CBN) - 4 %( ƛ/2 Of ABS CBN)

L = 22 – 4% (22)

L = 21. 01 cm

For corner Reflector:

Diameter of the opening: D= 45 cm

Assigned length of vertex: C= 15 cm

Focal = D2/ (16 x C)

F = 452 / (16 x 15)

Length of each side of the corner reflector:

Using right triangle law:

L2 = c2 + (D/2)2

L = 32. 015 cm
