Department of TCE As an Engineer/Post Graduate Researcher You would require to know What is Antenna? Antenna Types. How Antenna Radiates? Antenna Parameters How to choose a Particular Antenna? Design / Analysis / Modelling of Antenna. Antenna Matching. Antenna Measurements. Antenna Placements in the System.
Radiation Conditions To creat radiation (electric field), there must be a time- varying current dI/dt or an acceleration (or deceleration) a of a charge q. If the charge is not moving, a current is not created and there is no radiation. If a charge is moving with an uniform velocity, there is no radiation if the wire is straight, and infinite in extent There is radiation if the wire is curved, bent, discontinuous, terminated, or truncated If the charge is oscillating in a time-motion, it radiates even if the wire is straight.
