I. Experiment Motivation
●Evaluate both qualitative and quantitative results of transmitting and receiving
microwave.
II. Experimental Results
1. Investigation of straight-line propagation of microwaves
Observation:
When the receiver is aligned with the rail (the transmitter and receiver are
facing each other), the volt-meter shows the maximum value.
When the receiver moves far from the rail (in a plane perpendicular to the rail),
the value of volt-meter decreases.
Conclusion:
●Microwaves propagate best in a straight line.
2. Investigation of penetration of microwaves
Observation:
●When a dry absorption plate (electrical insulator) is put between transmitter
and receiver, the volt-meter slightly decrease
Conclusion:
Microwaves can penetrate through the dry absorption plate.
Not all of the microwave will penetrate through the dry absorption plate, a part
of them will be absorbed by the absorption plate.
3. Investigation of screening and absorption of microwaves
Observation:
●When a reflection plate (electrical conductor) is put between transmitter and
receiver, the volt-meter shows a value that is very small compared to the value
when the absorb plate is absent. In this case, the volt-meter shows a value
approximately 0 (0.01).
Conclusion:
●Most microwaves will not go through the reflection plate.
4. Investigation of reflection of microwaves
Observation:
Reflector angle ( ) Incidence angle ( )o o

40 42
50 57
60 41
●When the arrow is the bisector of 2 rails (the reflector angle is equal to the
incidence angle), the volt-meter shows maximum value.
Conclusion:
●Microwave reflects best when the perpendicular bisector of the reflection plate
is the bisector of an angle created by the transmitter and receiver.
●When the microwave reflects, the angle of incidence equals the angle of
reflection.
5. Investigation of refraction of microwaves
- Let assume that the angle θ created by transmitter and receiver, then θ is called
angle of deflection
- After 3 measurements, we have
Trials θ ( )o
1 149
2 150
3 142
Observation:
As turning the receiver to different angles, the value of the volt-meter
decreases.
Conclusion:
Microwave refracts best with angle of θ
6. Investigation of diffraction of microwaves
Observation:
When the single slit plane is put in the rail, the value on the voltmeter increase
When the plate is between the probe and the transmitter, the value on the
voltmeter is approximate 0. When the probe is moved on the horizontal plane, the
value slightly increase
Conclusion:
Microwaves have diffraction properties.
7. Investigation of interference of microwaves
Observation:
●When the probe is moved parallel to the plate, the value on the voltmeter is
oscillating. Number of maxima = 3
Conclusion: Microwaves have the property of interference.
8. Investigation of polarization of microwaves
Observation:
When the grating is aligned horizontally, the value on the voltmeter is slightly
decreasing
When the grating is aligned vertically, the value on the voltmeter is
approximately zero
When the grating is aligned at 45 , the value on the voltmeter is higher than o
vertical case, but lower than horizontal case
Conclusion:
●When we put a polarization grating between transmitter and receiver, the
microwave (electromagnetic) will be polarized as shown in fig 1.
Because the vertical wave is an electric wave, and the receivers signal we
receive is Voltage. Therefore:
●With vertical polarization grating, only the vertical wave can go through. The
receivers signal is big.
●With horizontal polarization grating, only the horizontal wave can go through.
The receivers signal is very small (approximate to 0).
●With 45 inclined polarization grating, a part of the vertical wave ando
horizontal wave can go through. The receivers signal is smaller than when we
use vertical polarization grating and bigger than when we use horizontal
polarization grating.
