Antenne Yagi-Uda. [Ses] éléments sont métalliques et de forme cylindrique ou parallélépipédique. Ils sont fixés sur un support qui peut être métallique ou isolant. Dans le premier cas les deux moitiés du dipôle doivent être découplées du support par des rondelles isolantes. L'excitation du dipôle se faisant par câble coaxial, possède un transformateur d'impédance (appelé parfois balun) transformant une excitation dissymétrique à l'entrée en une excitation symétrique au niveau du dipôle. Ceci permet d'obtenir une bonne caractéristique d'adaptation. 2, record 2, French, - transformateur%20d%27imp%C3%A9dance%20de%20type%20b%C3%AAta

Le module récepteur repose sur le concept «diode PIN à adaptation d'impédance» selon lequel la diode PIN fonctionne comme une source de courant indépendante de la résistance de charge. Le «transformateur adaptateur d'impédance» crée un «gain passif» en convertissant le photocourant de la diode, proportionnel au niveau du signal entrant, en un courant plus élevé à sa sortie, lequel est adapté à un circuit de post-amplification de 75 avec un bon niveau de bruit et de linéarité. 1, record 7, French, - transformateur%20adaptateur%20d%27imp%C3%A9dance
