Give two examples of two-dimensional antennas. Describe them.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples include patch and satellite dish antennas. A satellite dish works like a signal collector, scooping up any signal that comes in a straight line with the center axis of the antenna. A patch antenna is usually a flat piece of metal, with different heights and widths, depending on the desired vertical and horizontal radiation angles. Another type of two-dimensional directional antenna is a horn antenna which resembles a large horn with the wide end bent to one side. These antennas are common in telephone networks and are used to transmit high-power microwave signals between two distant towers.
