Radar Antenna Beamwidth Calculator
Advertisement
This tool calculates the beamwidth of a radar antenna. The formula used is provided below, along with an example.
Example Calculation
INPUTs:
- Antenna Diameter = 5 meters
- Radar Frequency = 10 GHz
OUTPUT:
- Radar Beamwidth = 0.42 degrees
Radar Beamwidth Formula
The following formula is used to calculate radar antenna beamwidth:
Antenna Beamwidth = 70 * (λ/D)
Where:
D
= Diameter of Antennaλ
= Wavelength (calculated asc/frequency
)c
= Speed of Light (approximately 3 x 108 meters per second)
