2. Traveling-wave antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling-wave_antenna

   In radio and telecommunication, a traveling-wave antenna is a class of antenna that uses a traveling wave on a guiding structure as the main radiating mechanism. Its distinguishing feature is that the radio-frequency current that generates the radio waves travels through the antenna in one direction.

3. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

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

   For instance, if a radio wave passing a given location has a flux of 1 pW / m 2 (10 −12 Watts per square meter) and an antenna has an effective area of 12 m 2, then the antenna would deliver 12 pW of RF power to the receiver (30 microvolts RMS at 75 ohms). Since the receiving antenna is not equally sensitive to signals received from all ...

4. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   Paradoxically, every antenna of any type, shorter than ~ ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ wave in its longest dimension is approximately isotropic, but no real antenna can ever be exactly isotropic. An antenna that is exactly isotropic is only a mathematical model, used as the base of comparison to calculate either the directivity or gain of real antennas.

5. Radio propagation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation

   Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel, or are propagated, from one point to another in vacuum, or into various parts of the atmosphere. [1]: 26‑1 As a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization, and scattering. [2]

6. Radio wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_wave

   Animated diagram of a half-wave dipole antenna receiving a radio wave. The antenna consists of two metal rods connected to a receiver R. The electric field (E, green arrows) of the incoming wave results in oscillation of the electrons in the rods, charging the ends alternately positive (+) and negative (−).

7. Antenna measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_measurement

   Typical antenna parameters are gain, bandwidth, radiation pattern, beamwidth, polarization, impedance; These are imperative communicative means. The antenna pattern is the response of the antenna to a plane wave incident from a given direction or the relative power density of the wave transmitted by the antenna in a given direction. For a ...

8. 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.

9. Rhombic antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_antenna

   A horizontal rhombic antenna radiates horizontally polarized radio waves at a low elevation angle off the acute end of the antenna opposite the feedline. Its principal advantages over other types of antenna are its simplicity, high forward gain and wide bandwidth, the ability to operate over a wide range of frequencies.
