ISSC343 Types of Antennas and Their Applications Discussion

Topic 1: How Antennas Work

The purpose of an antenna in a radio transmitter is to launch the radio waves into space. In a receiver, the idea is to pick up as much of the transmitter’s power as possible and supply it to the tuner. The size of a radio antenna is directly related to the frequency of the signal that the antenna is trying to transmit or receive. List the different types of antennas and their applications. Find images that help describe the different antennas.
