Designing Functional And Handy Military Antenna Mast

By Tammie Caldwell


There are different modes of communication but for the military, theirs is even more modified, emphasized, and developed. If anything goes wrong with the communication systems, they are all risking their lives too much. They need backup in worse case scenarios but if they are not able to communicate exactly where they are and where the enemies are, this will indicate failure in operations, which will cause numerous deaths.

Some of the most reliable systems in military operations are RF and Satellite Communications. The use of military antenna mast is crucial for both. But there are things to consider in manufacturing these innovations, like the bandwidth, size, and materials. The cost of manufacture and labor are also included. Hence, it is never easy to modify or improve antennas.

But there is a never ending issue regarding the size of these masts. Designers and manufacturers find it really difficult to shrink the properties of these devices because of the fact that higher frequencies have bigger and longer radio waves. Hence, the bigger the antenna is, the more efficient it will be in capturing signals under low frequency environments.

However, experts have outlined their concerns regarding the mast sizes. They have indicated that the bigger and taller the device is, the higher is its tendency to capture frequencies no matter how low the signals are. Such equipment are even a few inches to a few feet taller than the actual size of an adult man.

Professional designers of military communication equipment have always emphasized, based on the physics of this innovation, that higher frequency capabilities are more advantageous for the heavier and bigger ones. They acknowledge the inconvenience in bringing them to battlefields, but they are also after the efficiency and functionality. If they shrink down the size, tendency is they may not be able to serve their functions best which is to communicate with their comrades.

A given option is to use the cell phone in military operations instead of radio. Signal wires are already mounted in the cell phone so it should be a lot lighter to bring. However, the concern of the experts is that these devices are more susceptible to frequency interferences.

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.

Phones are prone to interferences in radio and signal. And if there are interferences, it is very difficult to reach the other side of the line, which in military operations, is the base. Moreover, if the base is not reached, they will not be able to report injured men in the battle.

Satellite communications are also very useful especially in disseminating information about the exact positions of the enemy in the battlefield. This is also very important for emergencies like calling medics for help. Thus, such systems are still being improved for these great heroes.
