What is Antenna?
What is Antenna? Antennas or aerials are necessary for the radiations or reception of radio wave which are electromagnetic in character. A system of elevated conductors that couple or match the transmitter or the receiver to space, can serves as antenna. A transmission line is employed to connect the transmitting antenna to the transmitter. In according with Maxwell’s theory, electromagnetic energy having the same frequency as the RF current flowing through the antenna, is radiated in space For a straight-wire antenna, the radiation COMPARISION AN ELECTRIC FIELD VECTOR IN A PLANE CONTAINING THE ANTENNA, AND A MAGNETIC FIELD VECTOR TRANSVERES TO THE ELECTRIC FIELD. The electric and the magnetic fields oscillate At the frequency of the RF currents in the antenna. The amplitudes of the fields vary directly as the amplitude of the RF current, and they fall off inversely as the distance from the antenna. The fields travel through the spa
