4.1 Antenna Basics

This video was made for a junior electromagnetics course in electrical engineering at Bucknell University, USA. The video is designed to be used as the out-of-the-classroom component and combined with active learning exercises in class. This video covers some vary basic facts about antennas, or devices that are designed to couple electrical energy from circuits into waves propagating through free space.

    Brilliant - very clear diagrams, a good pace and nice intuitive descriptions. Thank you.

    Note: Links to 3 videos with simulation of radiation included. How does an antenna radiate? Every stationary charge such as an electron and a proton has an electric field surrounding it. When the charge moves, it produces a magnetic field. When the charge is accelerated or several charges accelerate, an electromagnetic wave is radiated. Radio waves and light are electromagnetic waves comprising electric and magnetic field pulsations or variations in their strength at each point in the space. They are produced by accelerated electric charge like the electrons of atoms in antenna rods. The radiated fields constitute a wave travelling through space. The fields don't travel, the wave does. This is best visualised by a rope, one end of which is fixed to a wall and the loose end held some distance away. The loose end when moved up and down creates a wave travelling. Notice how the molecules of the rope near the wall have not travelled to the loose end. The snake-like shape in the form of a sinewave and travelling movement you see is the overall effect of the up and down movement of the molecules of the rope. The same happens with the strength of electric and magnetic fields of radio waves and light. There are no sinewaves in space! It is the strength of the electric field say, which we plot of a radio wave which has a pattern of a sinewave. The radiated fields produce a transverse wave and the space size of the comment section is not sufficient to provide an explanation of how a transverse wave is produced by an accelerated or decelerated charge.

The topics described in the book, make a distinct unified approach to electrostatics and circuits lending precision and clarity to the topics which is not found in most text books. The book comes alongwith a CD with animated power point presentations for all chapters and voltage regulator, RC phase shift oscillators and differential amplifiers included additionally. There is a "look inside" feature in the amazon.com webpage of the book "Fundamentals of electric theory and circuits" by Sridhar Chitta with a few pages of Chapter 1 which may be viewed and also which you may swipe left or press For a nice video about antennas and radiation visit kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3prrbuFf5eom8o.html For a lecture by Prof Ruth Chabay on radiation and reradiation, watch from the 59.0 minute kzread.info/dash/bejne/iH-lpatyoLiZgaw.html

    The electric and magnetic fields explain the near field. The far field (radiation into space) is a result of special relativity's effect on accelerating charges. The emitted photons slow the electrons (or possibly positive charges, but electrons in nearly all antennas) which causes the radiation resistance.

    Exactly what I was going to say. The induced E fields in the "Side View, Later" section on the right side of the slide are incorrect. They should be opposite from the left side view.

    Electrostatics and circuits belong to one science not two. For a unified approach to learning Current and the process of conduction watch these two videos i. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHmnucadZ5nXqMY.html and ii. kzread.info/dash/bejne/anaFr8Gxp5W4ltI.html Also, in the textbooks referred in the last frame of video i you will find descriptions of the operation of resistors, capacitors and inductors using this approach which makes it easier to understand. There are also a chapter in the textbook references 'Fundamentals of electric theory and circuits' which explains the operation of antennas and waveguides using the unified approach.

    I guess another lie we were told, that to have current of any sort in a wire it needs to make a loop and come back to the source. Now you can have current in an open circuit. I was aware that with enough high voltage you can get spark jump in a spark plug, but not electron jump. And now this: You can have photons come out of wires and the catch is simply to bend them exactly at 90 degrees as a result of electron current, but open to space and not loop back as one wire.
