Here's why antenna efficiency is important for transmitting but not for
HF receiving.

First, the definition of efficiency: For a transmitting antenna, it's
the fraction of the power applied which is radiated. The remainder is
turned into heat. For receiving, it's the ratio of the power which is
delivered to the receiver to the power which could be delivered to the
receiver if the antenna had no loss. The efficiency of a given antenna
is the same when transmitting and receiving. Sometimes people use
"efficiency" to mean other things -- this is the meaning of the term in
all antenna literature and texts.

Consider this communications system:

transmitter - antenna - propagation path - antenna - receiver - listener

A receiver unavoidably adds noise to the received signal. So if no noise
is injected in the propagation path, the signal/noise ratio is the ratio
of the signal entering the receiver to the noise created by the
receiver's input circuitry. This is generally the case at VHF and above.

When receiver noise dominates, as above, increasing the receive
antenna's efficiency increases the signal arriving at the receiver, so
the signal/noise ratio improves. This allows you to hear the signal
better. But it only works for VHF and above.

HF is a different story. At HF, there's a lot of atmospheric noise
(injected in the "propagation path" part of the system), and unless the
receive antenna and receiver are exceptionally bad, the atmospheric
noise is much greater than the noise created by the receiver. I
mentioned a simple test in my last posting, to see whether this is the
case -- just disconnect the antenna. If the noise level drops,
atmospheric noise dominates. It's not hard to make a receiver that
atmospheric noise will dominate with a 3 foot whip antenna at HF. So at
HF where atmospheric noise dominates, the signal/noise ratio is the
ratio of the signal entering the receiver to the atmospheric noise
entering the receiver. Compare this to the situation described above for
higher frequencies.

Now let's see what happens when we improve the efficiency of an HF
receiving antenna. Because both the signal and the dominant noise come
from locations in front of (that is, on the transmit side of) the
antenna, improving the efficiency of the antenna makes both the signal
and noise greater in the same proportion when they arrive at the
receiver. There's no improvement at all in the signal/noise ratio. The
effect is the same as turning up the receiver volume control. The only
way you can improve the signal/noise ratio is to somehow favor one over
the other, such as by making the antenna directional. And an
inefficient, directional antenna like a Beverage or small loop will
nearly always enable you to hear better in some directions than an
efficient, nondirectional antenna because directionality helps and
inefficiency doesn't hurt.

How about transmit antenna efficiency?

The signal strength from the transmit antenna is proportional to the
antenna's efficiency. (It also depends on other things, but I'm just
talking about efficiency here.) So if the efficiency of the transmit
antenna increases from, say, 33% to 66%, the power levels of the signals
at the receive antenna and the receiver double, and there's no change to
the received noise, on either HF or VHF and above. So improving the
transmit antenna efficiency always improves the signal/noise ratio at
the receiver, in this case by 3 dB.

That's why you can hear bunches of HF stations with a very inefficient
antenna, but they won't hear you if you try to transmit using that same
antenna -- it's because the noise is injected into the system between
you. And it's likely that you'll be able to hear stations just as well
with the very inefficient antenna as with a much larger, efficient one.

will do some sort of noise rejection (or, for some reason, have, in

Surely, you have poor design which is subject to static noise and/or
poor antenna pattern which has noise sources within that pattern. And,
of course, if one operates an omni antenna, noise is a given, unless you
live in a very remote part of the world, or are running a dummy-load as

Well said Roy, however, can you explain why this is not so at VHF and above?
I would think that would have to do more with mode than with
antenna/propagation. When I turn down the squelch on my vhf rx i get lots
of noise. Let me know.

It's purely because of where the dominant noise comes from, more
specifically whether it gets into the system before or after the
antenna. Atmospheric noise gets greater as you go down in frequency. At
VHF and above, it's less than receiver noise, so receiver noise
dominates and masks whatever atmospheric noise there might be. At HF and
below, it's usually greater than receiver noise, so atmospheric noise
masks the receiver noise. Obviously there's no precise line, so
somewhere typically near the upper end of HF either one might dominate,
depending on conditions, antenna, and receiver.

The noise you get from your VHF radio when you turn down the squelch is
receiver noise. You can prove it by disconnecting the antenna and
noticing that the noise doesn't change. Disconnect the antenna from an
HF receiver and the noise will drop, because it's coming from the other
side of the antenna.

This might help:

If you extend the red line showing man made noise, at greater than
about 30Mhz, the man made noise (ignition noise, motor noise, etc)
predominates over atmospheric noise.

In my last couple of postings, I was lumping man-made and atmospheric
noise together as "atmospheric noise". Both enter the system between the
transmit and receive antenna, so improving the receive antenna
efficiency won't help the ratio of signal to either atmospheric or man
made noise. The referenced graph doesn't show receiver noise at all,
which dominates at VHF and above.

It can be useful, however, to distinguish between atmospheric noise and
*local* man-made noise, since the latter can sometimes be reduced by
using techniques such as feedline decoupling and using horizontally
polarized antennas.

I said NO such thing, indeed, I stated the EXACT opposite, it allows

rectified, they are just masked ...

That is vastly oversimplified.

Absolutely, and at some point I must trust the reader has the resources
to extrapolate; otherwise, all postings would soon turn in to the
length, depth and completeness of a college textbook ...

For example, an antenna is a two lane road, running in both
directions(T/R), the same parameters which allow it to be the best
choice for transmitting, also are in action when that same antenna
"plucks" its' signals from the ether ... something I have pointed out
in
multiple ways, multiple times ...

The average person must hear, read, study the same material six times
before "learning" it. And, an instructor once pointed out to me, not
all people respond to the same method, personality,
mode-of-presentation
as another or others ... so, he pointed out the importance of gathering
data from multiple sources until the "epiphany" is realized ...


You're the guy from Lost in Space!


You are to kind Dave. The lost in Space Dr. Smith fooled some of the
people some of the time where our Smith fools none of the people none of
the time.


And who does the Telanut think he is fooling?

Oh yeah, that IS the dirty culprit, and if you know where to turn, in
the 80m band, you just might hear him! lol

You dumb twit. We don't care about transmitting.


We don't...?


Yeah we don't. This was posted in the shortwave group and cross posted
to the amateur group.

Receiving is EQUALLY as important as the transmitting element in the
above.


Again you dumb twit, we don't care about transmitting.


We don't...?


Yes we don't care.

Yeah, very sad of you to keep plonking and then continue to read me.


I thought this was your trick?


No not mine although filters do get turned off from time to time for
various reasons.

What a goofball.


Takes one to know one.


And that make you one now doesn't it.

Hey, telemundo is a great man, in his own mind, leave him alone ...
humor here is sparse, he provides for a needed demand ... :-)


You are just a comprehension impaired fool that talks to himself. How
you doing today? Have any nice conversations with yourself you would
like to share with the newsgroup?

Now that is funny. One Trolling idiot posting a response to another

And the hobo of s.r.sw Teleamon, the biggest troll here....is telling other

Hillarious!


You are just a two bit anonymous posting moron that does not contribute

Hmmm, I can see how you are mistaken; but, brother you are mistaken.
telemundo would not even amount to a pimple of a decent trolls hoary old
butt ... indeed, I can't imagine the lifeform he could make a pimple on
... grin

But then, you know, he already knows that ... :-(


Having conversations with yourself on Usenet will not endear you to the
normal readers you goofball.

Yet you keep reading and responding to all these posts that you claim not to
care about.

Hillarious is right!

You keep reading these people that you say contribute nothing.

Hillarious again!

Some people contribute to the newsgroup simply by pointing out what a turd
you are....making sure others don't step in you.
