Antenna gain — is defined as the ratio of the radiation intensity of an antenna in a given direction, to the intensity of the same antenna as it radiates in all directions (isotropically). Since the radiation intensity of an isotropically radiated power is… … Wikipedia
Polarization — ( Brit. polarisation) is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. For transverse waves, it describes the orientation of the oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the wave s direction of travel. Longitudinal… … Wikipedia

Antenna diversity — Antenna diversity, also known as space diversity, is one in a superset of wireless diversity schemes that utilizes two or more antennas to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link. Often, especially in urban and indoor environments … Wikipedia
Antenna measurement — techniques refers to the testing of antennas to ensure that the antenna meets specifications or simply to characterize it. Typical parameters of antennas are gain, radiation pattern, beamwidth, polarization, and impedance.The antenna pattern is… … Wikipedia
Microstrip antenna — In telecommunication, there are several types of microstrip antennas (also known as printed antennas) the most common of which is the microstrip patch antenna or patch antenna. A patch antenna is a narrowband, wide beam antenna fabricated by… … Wikipedia

Helical antenna — Helical antennas can operate in one of two principal modes: normal (broadside) mode or axial (or endfire) mode.In the normal mode , the dimensions of the helix are small compared with the wavelength. The far field radiation pattern is similar to… … Wikipedia
Loop antenna — A shortwave loop antenna A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop (or loops) of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor with its ends connected to a balanced transmission line. Within this physical description there are two very … Wikipedia
Circular polarization — The electric field vectors of a traveling circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. In electrodynamics, circular polarization[1] of an electromagnetic wave is a polarization in which the electric field of the passing wave does not change… … Wikipedia
Metamaterial antenna — This Z antenna tested at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is smaller than a standard antenna with comparable properties. Its high efficiency is derived from the Z element inside the square that acts as a metamaterial, greatly… … Wikipedia
