For example, 4% electrical steel has an initial relative permeability (at or near 0 T) of 2,000 and a maximum of 38,000 at T = 1 [5] [6] and different range of values at different percent of Si and manufacturing process, and, indeed, the relative permeability of any material at a sufficiently high field strength trends toward 1 (at magnetic ...
The effective area of an antenna is defined as "In a given direction, the ratio of the available power at the terminals of a receiving antenna to the power flux density of a plane wave incident on the antenna from that direction, the wave being polarization matched to the antenna."
Given that reflectance is a directional property, most surfaces can be divided into those that give specular reflection and those that give diffuse reflection. For specular surfaces, such as glass or polished metal, reflectance is nearly zero at all angles except at the appropriate reflected angle; that is the same angle with respect to the ...
One full wavelength in the conductor requires 2 π skin depths, at which point the current density is attenuated to e −2 π (1.87×10 −3, or −54.6 dB) of its surface value. The wavelength in the conductor is much shorter than the wavelength in vacuum , or equivalently, the phase velocity in a conductor is very much slower than the speed ...
While having a one-to-one correspondence with reflection coefficient, SWR is the most commonly used figure of merit in describing the mismatch affecting a radio antenna or antenna system. It is most often measured at the transmitter side of a transmission line, but having, as explained, the same value as would be measured at the antenna (load ...
Path loss normally includes propagation losses caused by the natural expansion of the radio wave front in free space (which usually takes the shape of an ever-increasing sphere), absorption losses (sometimes called penetration losses), when the signal passes through media not transparent to electromagnetic waves, diffraction losses when part of the radiowave front is obstructed by an opaque ...
Since the directive antenna radiates the same total power within a small angle along the z axis, it can have a higher signal strength in that direction than the isotropic antenna, and so a gain greater than one. In electromagnetics, an antenna's gain is a key performance parameter which combines the antenna's directivity and radiation efficiency.
A Fresnel zone (English: / f r eɪ ˈ n ɛ l / fray-NEL), named after physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel, is one of a series of confocal prolate ellipsoidal regions of space between and around a transmitter and a receiver. The primary wave will travel in a relative straight line from the transmitter to the receiver.
