  2. Rectenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectenna

    A rectenna (rectifying antenna) is a special type of receiving antenna that is used for converting electromagnetic energy into direct current (DC) electricity. They are used in wireless power transmission systems that transmit power by radio waves. A simple rectenna element consists of a dipole antenna with a diode connected across the dipole ...

  3. Directional antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

    Patch antenna gain pattern. A directional antenna or beam antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater radio wave power in specific directions. Directional antennas can radiate radio waves in beams, when greater concentration of radiation in a certain direction is desired, or in receiving antennas receive radio waves from one specific direction only.

  4. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    [12] [13] For example, the "receiving pattern" (sensitivity to incoming signals as a function of direction) of an antenna when used for reception is identical to the radiation pattern of the antenna when it is driven and functions as a radiator, even though the current and voltage distributions on the antenna itself are different for receiving ...

  5. Effective radiated power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_radiated_power

    Effective isotropic radiated power is the hypothetical power that would have to be radiated by an isotropic antenna to give the same ("equivalent") signal strength as the actual source antenna in the direction of the antenna's strongest beam. The difference between EIRP and ERP is that ERP compares the actual antenna to a half-wave dipole ...

  6. Directivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directivity

    Directivity is an important measure because many antennas and optical systems are designed to radiate electromagnetic waves in a single direction or over a narrow-angle. By the principle of reciprocity, the directivity of an antenna when receiving is equal to its directivity when transmitting.

  7. Radiation pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pattern

    It is a fundamental property of antennas that the receiving pattern (sensitivity as a function of direction) of an antenna when used for receiving is identical to the far-field radiation pattern of the antenna when used for transmitting. This is a consequence of the reciprocity theorem of electromagnetics and is proved below. Therefore, in ...

  8. Antenna feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_feed

    In a radio antenna, the feed line (feedline), or feeder, is the cable or other transmission line that connects the antenna with the radio transmitter or receiver.In a transmitting antenna, it feeds the radio frequency (RF) current from the transmitter to the antenna, where the energy in the current is radiated as radio waves.

  9. Radiation resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_resistance

    When the antenna is fed at some other point, the formula requires a correction factor discussed below. In a receiving antenna the radiation resistance represents the source resistance of the antenna, and the portion of the received radio power consumed by the radiation resistance represents radio waves re-radiated (scattered) by the antenna. [8 ...
