Antenna

Antenna Characteristics

Radiation Intensity

U(θ,ϕ)r2Pavg
  • independent to r

  • represent the power density at particular direction.

Prad=Sr2PavgdS=ΩUdΩPrad=4πUavg

Directive Gain

Gd(θ,ϕ)=U(θ,ϕ)Uavg
  • normalized version of U.

Directivity

D=max{Gd(θ,ϕ)}
  • sharpness criteria for antenna
