    Nice animations. Fine primer for people who aren't in electronics. Electronics brain is asking what about the analogue of space as a transmission medium with characteristic impedance, as with any other transmission line, and how impedance matching is important, and how the length of the antennas are usually a bit different than calculated due to the self inductance of the transmitter... Reflections. Noise. Side bands. Near and far fields. These are just off the top of my head. Nice animations. I'm not complaining. But I have been searching for a long time to see a good video describing near and far fields and lossy transmission lines. I want to learn more of that in like granular detail. There is some tech I worked with, long ago, and now I wanna know how it worked exactly. The work was for a communications company in the Arctic (a weird place).

  • @rachweston
    @rachweston10 ай бұрын

    Actually the method by which "radio waves" travel is photons. Alternating charge acceleration (voltage) in a metallic object produces photons as the electrical charges expand and contract just like doing the same produces light via mercury atoms in a fluorescent lamp. Radio reception is achieved when the photons interact with metallic objects and turns photon absorption into expansion and contraction in the antenna, thus producing a reverse of the alternating charge acceleration in the transmission mode. Charge acceleration is detected and the alternating voltage amplified, processed and the output turned back into meaningful information.

    I think it important to note for the uninformed, depending on proximity, just how small these signals moving from a transmitting antenna, to a distant receving antenna are ! And the important role the radio receiver plays with it's amplifying abilities, which without those amplifiers, these weak signals, typically could not be rectified, and heard ! Too, something I don't believe was mentioned here, is the, " Law of Reciprocity " ! Which simply states that an antenna used for transmitting, will also exhibit the same characteristics, when used for reception of radio waves ! Essentially, the antenna will work equally well for both, transmitting and receiving ! Also something known as resonance of a given antenna, plays an important role on how well both transmitting and receiving work. Much like the tuning of a Guitar, or other stringed instrument being tuned to produce a certain pure note, due to vibration, which in turn is frequency, the antenna must also be tuned for proper operation ! 🤔....? Just Say'n !

  • @ilgazmore

    I guess antennas are being horizontal or vertical while producing. Means that if you rotate a vertical antenna 90 degree it wont be horizontal. They are some kind of "mushroom" antennas which both take horizontal or vertical signals. So best to use them to not lose any data. But as I said I am not the expert. Someone could easily disagree with me.

    One has to know atomic theory. How can the electron (a sub-particle of an atom) move from one place to another? Knowing, and that electrons are both particles and waves, along with Amp's and Faraday's laws, antennas can be understood.But first one must wrap their head around electron theory.

    I’ve ever seen a loop antenna on a tower in over 30 years working in telecommunications. The closest thing to that used on towers is a folded dipole antenna. I don’t even know what the wave propagation would be on a loop antenna. Most broadcast antenna’s radiation is in a plane parallel to the earths surface as that’s where most receivers are.

    Sorry but despite the general concepts being accurate, this explanation is misleading as it makes it look like local magnetic filed is the same as the magnetic field of the wave. They are not the same. The magnetic field fades very quickly form the source so I would never be able to influence a remote receiver. It is the electromagnetic waves that can actually propagate. This a subtle but crucial difference

    First, they're positive charges (shown moving), so assuming they're in same direction as conventional current. Second, right hand thumb rule is used for current to magnetic field direction, whereas Faraday Lenz's law is opposite (magnetic field to current) and that law also has negative sign. So, right hand thumb rule won't work here. (Same as why Fleming's rule has 2 different hands, left for motor, right for generator) Also those magnetic field lines would be accelerating.

    ❌❌❌Warning: the electromagnetic wave in this video is wrong! ❌❌❌ The most useful part of this video is the portion from 3:21 to 5:22, where it shows how an alternating current can induce a changing magnetic field, which in turn induces an electric field that can move charges and create a detectable potential. This video would have been a wonderful resource to help people understand electromagnetic waves, since most if not all other animations online use electric fields as the primary entity, with magnetic fields just tagging along for the ride. Unfortunately, this portion of the video is also wrong: the induced electric field and motion of charges should be in the opposite direction to that shown in this video. It is easy check this because electromagnetic waves propagate in the direction of E x B, which is opposite to the direction of propagation shown in this video. I hope this error can be corrected before some poor student flunks their physics or engineering class because of this.
