An antenna is a way of converting the guided waves
present in a waveguide, feeder cable or transmission line
into radiating waves travelling in free space, or vice
versa.

Two fields regions:
oNear field or Fresnel region: The region within the
radius of the smallest sphere which completely encloses
the antenna is called Fresnel region.
In sitting an antenna ,it’s crucial to keep objects out of
the near field region to avoid coupling the currents in the
antenna with objects.
oFar Field or Fraunhofer region: The region beyond

Fresnel region is called Fraunhofer region

The radiation pattern of an antenna is a plot of the far-
field radiation from the antenna. More specifically, it is a
plot of the power radiated from an antenna per unit solid
angle, or its radiation intensity U [watts per unit solid
angle]. This is arrived at by simply multiplying the power
density at a given distance by the square of the distance r,
where the power density S [watts per square metre] is
given by the magnitude of the time-averaged Poynting
vector:
U=r^²S

6.Reciprocity

The directivity D of an antenna, a function of direction
is defined by the ratio of radiation intensity of antenna in
direction to the mean radiation intensity in all
directions.

5.Bandwidth
6.Reciprocity

The resistive part of the antenna impedance is split into two parts, a
radiation resistance Rr and a loss resistance Rl. The power dissipated in
the radiation resistance is the power actually radiated by the antenna, and
the loss resistance is power lost within the antenna itself. This may be due
to losses in either the conducting or the dielectric parts of the antenna.
Radiation efficiency e of the antenna as e is the ratio of power radiated
to the power accepted by antenna
antenna with high radiation efficiency therefore has high associated
radiation resistance compared with the losses. The antenna is said to be
resonant if its input reactance Xa =0.

6.Reciprocity

The power gain G, or simply the gain, of an antenna is
the ratio of its radiation intensity to that
of an isotropic antenna radiating the same total power
as accepted by the real antenna. When
antenna manufacturers specify simply the gain of an
antenna they are usually referring to the
maximum value of G.

6.Reciprocity

The bandwidth of an antenna expresses its ability to
operate over a wide frequency range. It is often defined
as the range over which the power gain is maintained to
within 3dB of its maximum value, or the range over
which the VSWR is no greater than 2:1, whichever is
smaller. The bandwidth is usually given as a percentage of
the nominal operating frequency. The radiation
pattern of an antenna may change dramatically outside
its specified operating bandwidth.

6.Reciprocity

Reciprocity theorem:
If a voltage is applied to the terminals of an antenna A and
the current measured at the terminals of another antenna B
then an equal current will be obtained at the terminals of
antenna A if the same voltage is applied to the terminals of
antenna B.

Effective Aperture
If an antenna is used to receive a wave with a power density S [W m2], it will produce a
power in its terminating impedance (usually a receiver input impedance) of Pr watts. The
constant of proportionality between Pr and S is Ae, the effective aperture of the antenna in
square metres:
Pr = AeS
For some antennas, such as horn or dish antennas, the aperture has an obvious physical
interpretation, being almost the same as the physical area of the antenna, but the concept is
just as valid for all antennas. The effective aperture may often be very much larger than the
physical area, especially in the case of wire antennas. Note, however, that the effective
aperture will reduce as the efficiency of an antenna decreases.
The antenna gain G is related to the effective aperture as follows
G=4pi/ (lamda)2Ae

6.Reciprocity

The directivity of an antenna increases as its beamwidth is
made smaller, as the energy
radiated is concentrated into a smaller solid angle

A typical analog cell phone antenna has a directivity of 3 dBi at its operating frequency of
800.0 MHz. The cell tower is 1 mile away and has an antenna with a directivity of 6 dBi.
Assuming that the power at the input terminals of the transmitting antenna is 0.6 W, and
the antennas are aligned for maximum radiation between them and the polarizations are
matched, find the power delivered to the receiver. Assume the two antennas are well
matched with a negligible amount of loss.
