I. Experiment Motivation
Evaluate both qualitative and quantitative results of transmitting and receiving microwave.
Conclusion:
Microwave propagates best in straight line.
Observation:
When attach dry absorption plate, the value of volt-meter decreases
Conclusion:
● Microwave can penetrate through the dry absorption plate.
● A portion of the microwaves will be absorbed by the dry absorption plate; not all of them
will pass through.
Observation:
When reflector angle increases, Volt out will increase until it reachs maximum value.
Conclusion:
The ability of reflection of microwave will increase when reflector angle increases until the
reflector angle is equal to incidence angle.
Microwave reflects best when perpendicular bisector of the reflection plate is the bisector
of an angle created by the transmitter and receiver.
Observation:
When the angle created by 2 rails is 125o , the volt-meter shows the maximum value.
● At different angle, the value of volt-meter decreases.
Conclusion:
Microwave refracts best with angle of 125o
Observation:
The voltmeter's value drops when the single-slit plate is inserted into the rail.
The voltmeter, however, shows a value that is almost equal to zero when the plate is
positioned between the probe and the transmitter. The reading slightly rises when the probe
is moved across the horizontal plane.
Conclusion:
Microwaves has diffraction properties.
7. Investigation of interference of microwaves
Observation:
Number of maxima = 3
Conclusion: Microwave has property of interference.
Observation:
Horizontally: the value of volt-meter is rapidly increase
Vertically: the value of volt-meter is approximate 0
At 45 o, the value of volt-meter is higher than that of vertical but smaller than that of
horizontal.
Conclusion:
Because the vertical wave is electric wave, and the receiver’s signal we receiver is Voltage.
Therefore:
With vertical polarization grating, only the vertical wave can go through. The receiver’s
signal is big.
With horizontal polarization grating, only the horizontal wave can go through. The
receiver’s signal is very small (approximate to 0).
With 45o inclined polarization grating, a part of vertical wave and horizontal wave can go
through. The receiver’s signal is smaller than when we use vertical polarization grating and
bigger than when we use horizontal polarization grating.
