Parabolic Antenna Half Power Beamwidth Calculator
Half power beam width of a parabolic antenna is the angle in which relative power is more than 50% of the peak power, in the effective radiated field of the antenna. Here we will calculate the HPBW of a parabolic antenna.

- D - Diameter of the Parabolic Antenna
- λ – Wavelength of the signal
A parabolic antenna is a type of antenna that is extensively used in microwave communication systems and radar systems. It is a highly directional antenna that can transmit or receive signals with high gain and small beam width.
For Example:
Consider the diameter of a parabolic antenna, D = 6 m and the wavelength of the signal, λ = 50 Hz
Parabolic Antenna Half-Power Beam Width, HPBW = 60 (λ/D) degree
= 60 (50 / 6) degree
= 10 * 50
= 500 degree
