Question

Which antenna type is primarily used for high-gain applications such as satellite communications and radar systems, offering a narrow beam width?

A.

Dipole Antenna

B.

Parabolic Antenna

C.

Monopole Antenna

D.

Loop Antenna

Correct option is B

Parabolic antennas use a parabolic reflector to focus electromagnetic waves into a highly directional beam.

 This focusing action results in very high gain and a narrow beamwidth, which are essential for:

  • Satellite communications
  • Radar systems
  • Long-distance point-to-point links

The feed antenna placed at the focus illuminates the reflector, and the reflected waves travel parallel to the axis, concentrating energy in one direction.
