loading system consists of coil which lowers the resonant frequency of the radiator for quarter wave operation
What states that the pattern, directivity, aperture, and terminal impedance of antenna are the same when transmitting or receiving
Defined as the power radiated by an antenna in its favored direction, taking the gain of the antenna into account as referenced to an isotropic radiator
Length where: current is maximum at ground point & voltage is maximum at top of the antenna
2 advantages of center-fed
The sense of the wave radiated by an antenna
What is the simplest possible directive pattern
It is defined as the range of frequency over which the antenna will radiate effectively or satisfactorily
It takes into account the losses by subtracting them from the power supplied to the antenna
It is defined as the ratio of the power radiated by the antenna to the power delivered to the feed point
based solely on the shape of the direction pattern; Does not take into account any power losses that may occur in an actual antenna system
Can be caused by ground resistance, corona effects, imperfect dielectric near the antenna, energy losses due to eddy currents in nearby metallic objects, and power losses in the antenna itself
It is a hypothetical value which, if replaced by an equivalent resistor, would dissipate exactly the same amount of power that the antenna would radiate

Defined as the product of the power fed to an antenna and its power gain
a method of altering the resonant frequency of an antenna radiator
The solid pattern of an Isotropic radiator, because the field strength is the same in all directions.
A term used to denote the connection of a series inductance or capacitance at the bottom of a vertical antenna radiator, for changing the resonant frequency
It is the effective area upon which the antenna collects electromagnetic energy from the incident wave.
Other term for Isotropic Radiator
May take the form of a metal wheel-like hat structure attached to the top of the antenna; increases the length of the antenna; thus increases the capacitance
Example of omnidirectional antenna
Grounding system that greatly reduces ground loss at radio frequencies
It is also defined as the ratio of the radiation resistance to the total antenna resistance
A minimum on the standing wave
It is the difference between the power delivered to the antenna to the actual power it radiates
Length where: current is minimum at both ends and at the center & voltage is maximum at these points
It is defined as the width, in degrees, of the major lobe between the two directions at which the relative radiated power is equal to one-half its value at the peak of the lobe
the feedpoint is at a current loop or antinode, which always occurs at the midpoint of a lambda/2 section of the antenna
