RADIATION PATTERN -LOBES
Different parts of radiation pattern are called as lobes.
They are classified as Major Lobe, Minor lobe and Side
Lobes.
Major lobe : Radiation lobe which contains maximum
radiation is called as “ Major lobe”. It is also called as
Main lobe.
Minor Lobe : Radiation pattern which contains
minimum radiation is called as minor lobe.
Side lobe : It is radiation lobe any direction other than
the normal intended lobe.
Back Lobe :This lobe is in a direction opposite to the
24
main lobe.

Principal Patterns:
Performance of any antenna is explained by two
patterns. E plane pattern. H- plane Pattern.
E plane pattern and H- plane Pattern are known as
Principle Patterns.

POLARIZATION
87
POLARIZATION
Orientation of Electric Field vector in a
particular Direction Is Known as “Polarization”
Depending on the orientation of electric field
vector polarization is divided in to three
categories. They are
1. Linear Polarization
(a). Horizontal Polarization
(b) Vertical Polarization
2. Elliptical Polarization
3. Circular polarization
88
POLARIZATION
Linear Polarization : A wave is said to be linearly
polarized if the electric field as a function of time
remain along a straight line.
a.Horizontal polarization : If
then the wave travels in Z direction and the wave
is said to be horizontally polarized.
b. Vertical Polarization: If then
the wave is said to be vertically polarized.
Circular Polarization: A wave is said to be
Circularly Polarized when the electric field
traces a circle.
89
POLARIZATION
will have equal magnitudes and 90
degrees phase difference the locus of the resultant E
field is circular and the wave is Circularly Polarized.
Elliptical Polarization : fields differ in 90
degrees phase then the tip resultant electric vector
traces an ellipse. It is said to be elliptically polarized.

POLARIZATION

BAND WIDTH
Antenna Band width is the range of Frequencies
over which the antenna maintains certain
required characteristics like Gain, Front-to- back
ratio, Standing wave ratio , Radiation pattern,
Polarization, Impedance etc.
Band width is the ratio of frequency to Q factor.

ANTENNA IMPEDANCE
Antenna impedance is also known as feed point
impedance, input impedance ,Driving point
impedance or terminal impedance.
It is the impedance at its point where the
transmission line carrying RF power from the
transmitter is connected.
Antenna impedance is divided into three broad
categories
1. Self impedance of an antenna

radiated to the total input power supplied to the
antenna.

RETARDED POTENTIALS
Due to time delay seconds the potentials has
been retarded by seconds. Hence these potentials
are known as Retarded potentials.
Definition : There is definite time delay for propagation
of EM wave from a source point to observation point.
The effect of this propagation delay is introduced in
vector and scalar potentials by simply substituting the
time variable t by a variable seconds
The potentials at the observation point are delayed or
retarded by this time delay, so potentials incorporating
this time delay are known as “Retarded Potentials”.
