In addition to receiving & transmitting energy, an antenna in an
advanced wireless system is usually required to optimize or
accentuate the radiation energy in some directions and
suppress it in others.
Thus the antenna can also serve as a directional device in
addition to a probing device.
It must then take various forms to meet the particular need at
hand, and it may be a piece ofconducting wire, an aperture, apatch, an assembly of elements (array), a reflector, a lens, and
so forth (see the next section for detail)

For wireless communication systems, the antenna is one of the
most critical components.
A good design of the antenna can relax system requirements and
improve overall system performance.
For example in TV system the overall broadcast reception can be

From the figure:
The source is represented by an ideal generator,
The transmission line is represented by a line with characteristic
impedance Zc
The antenna is represented by a load ZA connected to the
transmission lineZA = (RL + Rr ) + jXA
The load resistance RL is used to represent the conduction and
dielectric losses associated with the antenna structure
While Rris the radiation resistance that is used to represent
radiation by the antenna.10

The reactance XA is used to represent the imaginary part of the
impedance associated with radiation by the antenna.
In ideal conditions, energy generated by the source should be
totally transferred to the radiation resistance Rr .
However, in a practical system there are conduction-dielectric
osses ue o e ossy na ure o e ransm ss on ne an e
antenna, as well as those due to reflections (mismatch) losses at the
interface between the line and the antenna.
Taking into account the internal impedance of the source and
neglecting line and reflection (mismatch) losses, maximum power
is transferred to the antenna under conjugate matching conditions.11

The reflected waves from the interface (along with the travelling
waves from the source) create constructive and destructive
interference patterns (Standing Waves) inside the transmission line
which represent pockets of energy concentrations and storage.
If the antenna system is not properly designed, the transmission line

If the maximum field intensities of the standing wave are sufficiently
large, they can cause arching inside the transmission lines.

How to minimize the losses due to the line and antenna, and the
standing waves ?
Losses due to the line can be minimized by using low-loss lines
While loses duet to the antenna can be decreased by reducing the
loss resistance represented byRL .
The standing waves can be reduced and then the energy storagecapacity of the line can be minimized by matching the
impedance of the antenna (load) to the characteristic impedance of
the line.
This is the same as matching loads to transmission lines , where the
load here is the antenna, 13

Classification based on type of an antenna
1. Wire Antenna
Wire antennas are seen everywhere on automobiles, buildings,
ships, aircraft, spacecraft, and so on.
There are various shapes of wire antennas such as a straight wire
, , .
Loop may be circular, rectangular , square, ellipse, or any other
configuration.
The circular loop is the most common because of its simplicity in
construction.

2. Aperture Antennas
It contains some sort of opening through which electromagnetic
waves are transmitted or received.
It has better utilization of higher frequencies.
Hence it is most common at microwave frequencies.
ntennas of this type are very useful foraircraft andspacecraft applications,because they can be very conveniently
flush-mounted on the skin of the aircraft or spacecraft.
In addition, they can be covered with a dielectric material to
protect them from hazardous conditions of the environment.

However, the rectangular and circular types are the most popular
because of ease of analysis and fabrication, and their attractive
radiation characteristics.

4. Array Antennas
Many applications require radiation characteristics that may not be
achievable by a single element.
It may, however, be possible that an aggregate of radiating elements
in an electrical and geometrical arrangement (an array) will result in
the desiredradiation characteristics.
The arrangement of the array may be such that the radiation from the
elements adds up to give a radiation maximum in a particular
direction and minimum in others as desired.

5. Reflector Antenna
Because of the need to communicate over great distances,
sophisticated forms of antennas had to be used in order to transmit
and receive signals that had to travel millions of miles.
A very common antenna form for such an application is a parabolic
.
Antennas of this type have been built with diameters as large as
305 m. Such large dimensions are needed to achieve the high gain
required to transmit or receive signals after millions of miles of
travel.
Another form of a reflector is the corner reflector. 30

6. Lens Antennas
Lenses are primarily used to collimate incident divergent energy to
prevent it from spreading in undesired directions.
By properly shaping the geometrical configuration of the lenses, theycan transform various forms of divergent energy into plane waves.
ey can e use n mos o e same app ca ons as are e para o c
reflectors, especially at higher frequencies. Their dimensions and
weight become exceedingly large at lower frequencies.
Lens antennas are classified according to the material from which
they are constructed, or according to their geometrical shape.

Electromagnetic Wave Radiation Mechanisms
How is radiation achieved by the antenna?
How EMF(E,H) is :
Generated by the source
Contained and guided within the transmission line and the antenna
Electric charges/disturbances are required to excite the fields.
Once the disturbance in the EMW has been initiated, EMWs are
created which begin to travel outwardly.
The waves do not stop or extinguish themselves even if the disturbance
has been removed.
37
-
8/22/2019 Chapter One Introduction to Antenna Systems.pdf
38/64
The created electromagnetic waves travel inside the transmission
line, then into the antenna, and finally radiated as free-space
waves, even if the electric source has ceased to exist.
If the electric disturbance is of a continuous nature,
electromagnetic waves exist continuously and follow in their
travel behind the others.
38
-
8/22/2019 Chapter One Introduction to Antenna Systems.pdf
39/64
When the electromagnetic waves are within the transmission line and
antenna, their existence is associated with the presence of the
charges inside the conductors.
However, when the waves are radiated, they form closed loops and
no need of charges to sustain their existence.
Hence electric charges are required to excite the fields but are
not needed to sustain them and may exist in their absence.

Basic Sources of Radiation
1. EM Radiation from Single Wire
Conducting wires are material which is used to allow the motion
of electric charges and the creation of current flow.
Let us consider a very thin wire shown in figure below
40
-
8/22/2019 Chapter One Introduction to Antenna Systems.pdf
41/64
For the wire is very thin , the current in the wire is given by
If the current is time varying, then the derivative of the current is
Then for a wire of lengthl , the equation becomes
This equation is the basic relation between current and charge, and
it is the fundamental relation ofelectromagnetic radiation .
It simply states that to create radiation, there must be a time-varying
current or an acceleration (or deceleration) of charges.

2. EM Radiation from Two Wires:
E-field Analysis
Applying a voltage across the two-conductor transmission line
creates an electric field between the conductors.
45
-
8/22/2019 Chapter One Introduction to Antenna Systems.pdf
46/64
Associated with the electric field has electric lines of force which
are tangent to the electric field at each point and their strength is
proportional to the electric field intensity.
The electric lines of force have a tendency to act on the free
electrons associated with each conductor and force them to be
displaced.
The electric field lines drawn between the two conductors help to
exhibit the distribution of charge.
46
-
8/22/2019 Chapter One Introduction to Antenna Systems.pdf
47/64
If we assume that the voltage source is sinusoidal, the electric field
between the conductors will also be sinusoidal with a period equal
to that of the applied source.
The relative magnitude of the electric field intensity is indicated by
the density (bunching) of the lines of force with the arrows showing
the relative direction (positive or negative).

H-filed Analysis
The movement of the charges creates a current that in turn creates
a magnetic field intensity.
Associated with the magnetic field intensity are magnetic lines of
force which are tangent to the magnetic field.
The creation of time-varying electric and magnetic fields between
the conductors forms electromagnetic waves which travel along
the transmission line (see next figure).
The electromagnetic waves enter the antenna and have associated
with them electric charges and corresponding currents.

The continuous nature of theelectric disturbance, creates a
continuous type EMW which
follow in their travel one after
the other.
51
Conclusion :
When the electromagnetic waves are within the transmission line and antenna, their
existence is associated with the presence of the charges inside the conductors.
However, when the waves are radiated, they form closed loops and there are nocharges to sustain their existence.
Hence electric charges are required to excite the fields but are not necessary to
sustain them and may exist in their absence.

in the first quarter of the period during which time the charge has reached its
maximum value and the lines have travelled outwardly a radial distance/4.
During the next quarter of the period, the original three lines travel an additional/4
(a total of /2 from the initial point) and the charge density on the conductors begins
to diminish.
This can be accomplished by introducing opposite charges which at the end of the
53
rst a o t e per o ave neutra ze t e c arges on t e con uctors.
The end result is that there are three lines of force pointed upward in the first/4
distance and the same number of lines directed downward in the second/4. Since
there is no net charge on the antenna, then the lines of force must have been forced to
detach themselves from the conductors and to unite together to form closed loops. In
the remaining second half of the period, the same procedure is followed but in the
opposite direction.

determine thephysical quantities E & H.
They are used to determine an easy way to determine the radiated
fields as shown below.

Although both path requires integration, the integration overpath two
is much simpler. The most difficult operation in the two-step procedure is the
integration to determine A and F.
Once the vector potentials are known, then E and H can always be
determined because any well behaved function, no matter how
complex, can always be differentiated.
The integration required to determine the potential functions is
restricted over the bounds of the sources J and M. This will result in
the A and F to be functions of the observation point coordinates.
So, the differentiation to determine E and H must be done in terms of
the observation point coordinates.
