1.3 Radiation Mechanism


How are the electromagnetic fields generated by the source.

• Single Wire
Conducting wires are
- Current density

1.3 Radiation Mechanism


• Single Wire
- 1. Charge is not moving
No current, no radiation

- 2. Charge is moving uniform velocity


a. Wire is straight, and infinite, no
radiation
b. Wire is curved, bent, discontinuous,
terminated or truncated it makes
radiation.

- 3. Charge is oscillating
It radiates even if wire is straight.

1.3 Radiation Mechanism


• Two-Wires
- Apply voltage, it creates an electric
field between the conductors.

- Electric lines of force Electric Field


Intensity

- Electric charges are required to excite


the fields but are not needed to sustain
them and may exist in their absence.

1.3 Radiation Mechanism


• Dipole - Dipole’s source

- First, charge reached its maximum value

- After next quarter, charge begins to diminish

- Next quarter, charge have neutralized

1.4 Current Distribution on a Thin Wire Antenna

- Traveling wave current flow to


transmission line. At the end complete
reflection occurs.
- Reflected wave and incident wave
combined and forms standing wave
pattern.

- (a) Net result is non-radiation


- (b) Two line’s are not necessarily close
to each other, the fields radiated.
- (c) It’s called standing wave antenna
