Activity 2 (Reflection/Review): What do you understand about Antenna? Why this so important to us? by Kismet https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6 KNT4053 Microwave & Antenna Technology en-us 2016-10-31 09:03:57 UTC 2025-12-11 18:46:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Your MATRIC NO here.... hpkismet https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134156581 Your comment/opinion HERE....]]> 2016-10-31 09:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134156581 40422 :) https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134157035 In radio and electronics, an antenna , or aerial, is an electrical device which converts electric power into radio waves, and vice versa. Which also  a transducer designed to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves such as TV and radio. Antenna was so important to us because they are used in systems such as radio broadcasting, broadcast television, two-way radio, communications receivers, radar, cell phones, and satellite communications, as well as other devices such as garage door openers, wireless microphones, Bluetooth-enabled devices, wireless computer networks, baby monitors, and RFID tags on merchandise.

Generally, there are 2 type of antenna ; receiving antenna which intercept RF energy while transmitter antenna is fed with AC from electronic equipment and generates an RF. ]]> 2016-10-31 09:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134162884 41546 https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134168836 Antenna is a passive device. The only things that can make it active is the implementation of circuit theory onto it. Antenna is very important to us because it help us to locate a signal and very widely used in data transmission system.]]> 2016-10-31 10:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134168836 40938 https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134207624 Antenna is a device that transmit or receive electromagnetic energy, matching these sources of energy and the space. It is often called radiant systems. Antenna can be used to transmit or receive signal. A good antenna is designed to be "in-tune" to the signal you are seeking - your phone or radio "sees" the signal and you hear a clear conversation. 
Antenna is important as it has a wide application ranging from telecommunication to biomedical. Example of application of antenna in telecommunication are remote sensing and defense radar. As in biomedical engineering, it is used to cure breast cancer.]]> 2016-10-31 13:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134207624 41419 https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134215032 Antenna is an hardware components that change electric power to radio waves. This process can be vice versa. Antenna is important to us because without antenna, signals cannot be transmitted nor received. Hence, our smartphones, television, radio , GPS system and more will never exist. So, antenna brought much convenient to our daily life.

Antennas have a wide range of usage. Antennas act as a line of sight between the transmitting and reception aerial for directional services. ]]> 2016-11-02 02:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134666806 41129 https://padlet.com/hpkismet/h22wrswg0vo6/wish/134785556 Antennas are basic components of any electric system
and are connecting links between the transmitter and free
space or free space and the receiver. The antennas are used simply
to radiate electromagnetic energy in an omnidirectinal or
finally in some systems for point-to-point communication
purpose in which increased gain and reduced wave interference
are required.

Antennas are designed to radiate or receive electromagnetic energy with particular radiation and polarization properties suited for its specific application.

Parabolic, or dish, antennas are the most familiar type of directional antenna. A parabola is a symmetric curve. The antenna is “fed” by either a half wave dipole antenna or a feed horn. Parabolic antennas are used for long distance communication links between buildings or over large geographic areas. i
