In telecommunications, the effective height of an antenna is the height of the antenna's center of radiation above the ground. In low-frequency applications involving loaded or nonloaded vertical antennas, the effective height is the moment of the current distribution in the vertical section, divided by the input current. For an antenna with a ...
Efficiency is the ratio of power actually radiated by an antenna to the electrical power it receives from a transmitter. A dummy load may have an SWR of 1:1 but an efficiency of 0, as it absorbs all the incident power, producing heat but radiating no RF energy; SWR is not a measure of an antenna's efficiency.
English: Graph of the measured base feed resistance and reactance of a typical mast radiator antenna vs the height of the mast. A mast radiator antenna consists of a guyed lattice mast in which the steel mast structure itself is connected to the transmitter and functions as the antenna. It is mounted on a ceramic insulator which keeps it ...
Height above average terrain (HAAT), or (less popularly) effective height above average terrain (EHAAT), is the vertical position of an antenna site above the surrounding landscape. HAAT is used extensively in FM radio and television , as it is more important than effective radiated power (ERP) in determining the range of broadcasts ( VHF and ...

In antenna theory, radiation efficiency is a measure of how well a radio antenna converts the radio-frequency power accepted at its terminals into radiated power. Likewise, in a receiving antenna it describes the proportion of the radio wave's power intercepted by the antenna which is actually delivered as an electrical signal.
Full-wave loops have the highest radiation resistance, and hence the highest efficiency of all antennas: Their radiation resistances are a few hundreds of Ohms, whereas dipoles and monopoles are tens of Ohms, and small loops and short whip antennas are a few Ohms, or even fractions of an Ohm. [2] Large loops
Dipole gain is the ratio of the power density received from the antenna in the direction of its maximum radiation to the power density , received from a lossless half-wave dipole antenna in the direction of its maximum radiation = , The decibel gain relative to a dipole (dB d) is given by = ( , )
