“The steeper the signal in time, the more
high frequency components are
required to build such signal.”
The FT does tell us which frequencies are
used, but NOT when.

Vector Analysis
Gradient (grad φ):
Characterises the changes of a scalar field.
Divergence (div E):
Characterises, “how much a field diverges.”
Rotation (rot H):
Characterises, “how much a field rotates.”

THE KEY TO ANY OPERATING ANTENNA
Suppose:
1. There does exist an electric medium, which
provides a current I and thus a current density J.
2. This causes location varying magnetic field H
3. This causes location varying magnetic flux B, but no
time varying magnetic flux. Thus no rot E, thus no
time varying electric flux. Thus no wave!

3. This causes location and time varying magnetic

4. This causes location and time varying electric field E.
5. This causes location and time varying electric flux D.
6. This causes location and time varying magnetic
field H, even if without current density J.

THE TAKE-OFF RUNWAY FOR A TRANSMITTING ANTENNA
Thus, we only need a medium, which is capable of
carrying a time-variant current.
We will call this medium: Antenna.
Outside the Antenna the electromagnetic field can
propagate on its own without the source J, since
both fields are coupled through the formulas!

THE LANDING RUNWAY FOR A RECEIVING ANTENNA
Thus, we only need a medium, which has free
electrons to generate a current out of a timevarying electromagnetic field.
In any case, there is always a time-variant current density necessary:

An Antenna is
an efficient way of converting a guided wave
into a radiating wave or vice versa.

The “longer” the vectors E & H at point r, the more energy is
available at that point.
BUT! We are also interested in the changes from location to location.

Dipole Radiation Pattern
Radiation Pattern is defined as …
“… the variation of the magnitude of the electric or magnetic field
as a function of direction (at a distance far from the antenna).”
