97 CHAPTER 3: ANTENNAS ANTENNAS couple propagating electromagnetic waves to and from circuits and devices, typically using wires (treated in Section ) or apertures (treated in Section ). In practice complicated solutions of Maxwell s equations for given boundary conditions are usually not required for system design and analysis because the antenna properties have already been specified by the manufacturer, and must only be understood. Section characterizes these general transmitting and receiving properties of ANTENNAS , which are derived in subsequent BASIC ANTENNA PROPERTIES Most ANTENNAS reversibly link radiation fields to currents flowing in wires at frequencies ranging from sub-audio through the far-infrared region.
fields to materials can operate in microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, gamma ray, and even higher energy regimes. The design of lens and mirror systems for coupling radiation directly to materials is generally called “optics”, and the use of these optical techniques for
