Designing Functional And Handy Military Antenna Mast

By Tammie Caldwell


Military operations are very critical and those in the base need to know the whereabouts of the other men in the field. Hence, communication systems are very helpful in such critical situations, especially in asking for backups when the situation gets out of hand. When it comes to military communication systems, radio and antenna devices are the most reliable. There are light antennas but they do not guarantee high frequency signals. Most of the time, size and weight are the primary issues with military antennas.

Communication in the field with other bases can be done using radio. A military antenna mast is not easy to manufacture. There are so many considerations like the cost of production including the raw materials and labor. On the other hand, the size, bandwidth, and capacity to deter radio signal interferences are notable considerations as well.

Users like to use lighter and handier antennas and communication system. Designers and engineers are having trouble regarding this because the demand for lighter and handier equipment has increased. These professionals are working on it but they cannot guarantee immediate outcome. They are still researching and altering the properties of these devices. They say that the bigger and higher radio waves can be captured more if the devices are taller, heavier, and bigger.

In the battle grounds, where the tension is very high, the men still need to bring along with them antennas that are too heavy and are too tall they overtake the height of a man. Hence, the inconvenience will cause the life of the one assigned to carry it. Again, according to the physics explained by the experts, the taller the material is, the better the reception.

While users prefer the least heavy and the smallest sizes, designers are still incapable of giving them that. According to experts, the usual physics of creating such innovations has always been higher, heavier, bigger, which yield better receptions. Otherwise, there will be low frequencies which is impossible to communicate effectively between men at the base and men on the field.

It is easy to suggest that mobile phones be used. It may sound and look really easy to do but there are also loopholes in this. It is true that mobile phones are handier and that they are very efficient. But the question lies in its efficiency on any area and condition.

The conditions in war stricken areas are often very negative. Network signals which are land based are sometimes limited and often, they have been destroyed by war. Thus, there is a need for phones to have a more extensive system like radio frequencies.

With these information made known, it can be concluded safely that the RF communication systems could be the only mode of communication in the field. But studies are still ongoing on how to grant the requests of users about a less heavier and more handy antennas. This is the work of an applications engineer and a designer to make sure that the devices are then tested properly.

Also, satellite communications are very efficient. These can be used in information dissemination quicker and more efficiently. These are the ones being used by armies to report the locations of enemies using communication codes.
