ABSTRACT An antenna is a device which transforms electromagnetic signals from a transmission line, into electromagnetic waves radiating into free space, (transmit mode) and also collects electromagnetic waves, transforming them into electromagnetic signals and sends them to the transmission line. This is all the antenna is designed to do; it is a passive device. Antennas do not amplify, they simply focus radio energy. Antennas work equally well whether transmitting or receiving radio energy. (Reciprocity) For example, when measuring the radiation patterns of an antenna on a test range, the antenna under test can be either transmitting or receiving radio waves. A transmitting antenna is sometimes compared to a light source (another form of radiation) to help in visualizing such antenna parameters as radiation pattern and gain. Another common analogy is to compare an antenna to a sprinkler at the end of a hose. There is only so much water coming out of the hose but we can spread the water out or focus it to throw the water farther in a specific direction. The total is the same. The spray is different. Antenna design is the very interesting field in various communication field this seminar is something about designing of various antennas.
