Antennas & PropagationCS 6710 Spring 2010 Rajmohan RajaramanIntroduction An antenna is an electrical conductor orsystem of conductorsoTransmission - radiates electromagnetic energyinto spaceoReception - collects electromagnetic energyfrom space In two-way communication, the sameantenna can be used for transmission andreceptionRadiation Patterns Radiation patternoGraphical representation of radiation properties of anantennaoDepicted as two-dimensional cross section Beam width (or half-power beam width)oMeasure of directivity of antennaoAngle within which power radiated is at least half of thatin most preferred direction Reception patternoReceiving antenna s equivalent to radiation pattern Omnidirectional vs.
Line-of-Sight Propagation Above 30 MHz neither ground nor sky wave propagation operates Transmitting and receiving antennas must be within line of sight
