Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
• Antenna definition: Antenna is defined as the transitional structure
between free-space and a guiding device.

𝑍𝐴 = 𝑅𝐴 + 𝑋𝐴
𝑅𝐴 = 𝑅𝑟 + 𝑅𝐿
𝑍𝐴 : antenna impedance
𝑅𝐴 : antenna resistance
𝑅𝐿 : antenna loss resistance
𝑅𝑟 : antenna radiation resistance
𝑋𝐴 : antenna reactance
All are in ohms

1.3 RADIATION MECHANISM
Electromagnetic fields generated by the source, contained and guided within the
transmission line and antenna, and finally “detached” from the antenna to form a free-
space wave?
1.3.1 Single Wire

𝑱 𝒔 = 𝒒𝒔 𝒗 𝒛 [𝐴 𝑚] (2)
𝑰𝒛 = 𝒒𝒍 𝒗𝒛 [A] (3)
Equation (4b) is the basic relation between current and charge, and it also
serves as the fundamental relation of electromagnetic radiation.

For a single wire antenna
1. If a charge is not moving, current is not created and there is no radiation.
2. If charge is moving with a uniform velocity:
a. There is no radiation if the wire is straight, and infinite in extent.
b. There is radiation if the wire is curved, bent, discontinuous, terminated, or
truncated, as shown in Figure.
3. If charge is oscillating in a time-motion, it radiates even if the wire is straight.
