Effective Radiated Power<br />

Lets take an example with the following characteristics:<br />

o Power output from radio = 50 watts<br />

o Feed line loss = - 4dB<br />

o Duplexer loss = -2 dB<br />

o Circulator loss = - 1dB<br />

o Antenna Gain =+ 4 dB<br />

First we calculate the overall ERP as follows:<br />

ERP=Transmitter Power Out = +((-4)+(-2)+(-=1)+(+4)) = 50 - 3 dB or 25 watts<br />

Resonant circuits<br />

� In any resonant circuit the X L is equal to the XC at resonance<br />

� In a series resonant circuit the impedance at the resonant frequency is zero<br />

� In a parallel resonant circuit the impedance at resonance is ∞<br />

� In a parallel resonant circuit with perfect components once the circuit is energized it will continue to oscillate<br />

forever with the capacitor charging the inductor then the inductor charging the capacitor. Since our components<br />

are not perfect this will not happen.<br />

Series resonant circuits<br />

Series Resonant Circuits look like a short to the signal source (assuming ideal components) with the only limit on current being<br />

the resistance of the components and any external resistance added in series<br />

Series Resonant Frequency is determined by the following equation with Frequency in Hertz, Inductance in Henries and<br />

Capacity in farads. (or frequency in kHz, inductance in mH and capacity in µ Henries and µH)<br />

1<br />

FR =<br />

2π√(LC)<br />

For a circuit with an inductance of 50 µH and 40 pF<br />

FR = 1/ (2π√(LC)) = 1/(6.28 √(.000050 x .000,000,000,040) = 3,558,812 Hz<br />

or<br />

FR = 1/ (2π√(LC)) = 1/(6.28 √(50 x . 000,040) = 3.559 kHz<br />

Parallel Resonant circuits<br />

Has high output voltage and looks like a high resistance (or in a perfect circuit an open circuit) to the signal source.<br />

Calculating resonant frequency for a parallel inductor and capacitor circuit:<br />

Resonant frequency = 1/ (2π √ (LC) )<br />

Let’s calculate the resonant frequency for a circuit a circuit with a 10 µH inductor and 300 pf capacitor. Remember that this<br />

equation requires the inductance to be in Henries and capacitance in Farads, the resonant frequency answer will be in Hz.<br />

F = 1/ (2π √ (LC) ) = 1/ (2 π √ ((10 ↑-6) * (300 ↑-12)) = 1/ (2 π √(30↑-16))<br />

F= 2,900,000 Hz or 2.9 MHz<br />

If you need to determine which L or C component is needed to resonate at a specific frequency, the following equations can be<br />

used:<br />

L= 1/((2 π F)² C) or C= 1/((2 π F)² L)<br />
