Directivity It is the ratio of Radiation intensity in a given direction to radiation intensity radiated by test or isotropic antenna. Gain It is the ratio of Radiation intensity in a given direction to radiation intensity radiated by test or isotropic antenna , having no transmission line and antenna loss.
Input Impedance Thevenin Equivalent Antenna transmitting mode Input Impedance is given by
Antenna Radiation efficiency Antenna effective aperture(area)
Polarization Rotation of wave
Linear Polarization Circular Polarization
Front-to-Back Ratio • The direction of maximum radiation is in the horizontal plane is considered to be the front of the antenna, and the back is the direction 180º from the front • For a dipole, the front and back have the same radiation, but this is not always the case Radiation Pattern
We begin our analysis of antenna by considering some of the oldest, simplest and most basic configurations. Initially we will try to minimize antenna structure and geometry to keep mathematical details minimum.
Mathematical Analysis Analytical analysis Numerical analysis Requires algorithm , approximations, In short tedious calculation Gives a function (well behaved) easy to differentiate
Tedious integration Simple integration Differentiation is very easy i.e. finding CURL e.g. Auxiliary function Well Behaved function A

Solution of the inhomogeneous vector potential wave equation Let us assume that a source with current density Jz which in the limit is an Infinitesimal source is placed at the origin. Since the current density is dire cted along the z-axis Jz, only Az component will exist.
Helmholtz equation for vector potential Assumption : current element as a point source Az = f(r)= Az(r) Assumption : Source free region i.e. J=0 …….(1) Expanding eq.(1) in spherical coordinate system having only radial component of Az
We have : …..(2) Eqn(2) is differential eqn of order two so its solutions are …..(i) …..(ii)
For transmitting antenna we have eq(i) as soln for time varying case * Only multiplication of to static case Solution for static case becomes gives soln for time varying case, we will first calculate soln for static case than by multiplying by we will get soln for time varying case
…….(3) Similarly for eqn (3) we have soln as This soln is for static case now to get soln for time varying case multiplying by

Generalized equation for surface integral Generalized equation for line integral
Retarded Vector Potential The retarded potential formulae describe the scalar or vector potential for electromagnetic fields of a time-varying current . The retardation between cause and effect is thereby essential; e.g. the signal takes a finite time, corresponding to the velocity of light, to propagate from the source point origin of the field to the point P, where an effect is produced or measured.
Field at P have time lag Field radiated velocity c Field radiated from dipole will reach to p with a time lag
