- the input impedance of an antenna is a complex number, the real part is called the input resistance, represented by Ri; the imaginary part is called the input resistance, represented by Ri; The part is called input reactance, denoted by Xi.
- the input reactance of an antenna whose electrical length is much smaller than the working wavelength is very large. For example, a short dipole antenna has a large capacitive reactance; a small loop antenna has a large inductive reactance.
- the input impedance of a half-wave oscillator with a very thin diameter is about 73.1+j42.5 ohms. In practical applications, in order to facilitate matching, it is generally hoped that the input reactance of a symmetrical oscillator is zero. At this time, the length of the oscillator is called the resonant length.
- the length of a resonant half-wave oscillator is slightly shorter than half a wavelength in free space, and is generally estimated to be shortened by 5% in engineering.
- the input impedance of an antenna is related to factors such as the antenna's geometry, size, feed point location, working wavelength, and surrounding environment. When the diameter of a wire antenna is thicker, the input impedance changes more slowly with frequency, and the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is wider.
- the main purpose of studying antenna impedance is to achieve matching between antenna and transmission line.
- the input impedance of the antenna should be equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.
- the input impedance of the antenna should be equal to the conjugate complex of the load impedance.
- the receiver has a real impedance.
- the antenna matches the transmission line, the power transmitted from the transmitter to the antenna or from the antenna to the receiver is the maximum. At this time, there will be no reflected waves on the transmission line, the reflection coefficient is equal to zero, and the standing wave coefficient is equal to 1.
- the degree of matching between the antenna and the transmission line is measured by the reflection coefficient or standing wave ratio at the antenna input. For the transmitting antenna, if the matching is not good, the radiation power of the antenna will decrease, the loss on the transmission line will increase, the power capacity of the transmission line will also decrease, and in severe cases, the transmitter frequency will be "pulled", that is, the oscillation frequency will change.

- Antenna gain It is used to characterize the degree to which the antenna radiates the input power. Generally, the narrower the main lobe of the antenna pattern and the smaller the side lobe, the higher the antenna gain.
- a difference of 10 decibels between two quantities is a difference of 10 times
- a difference of 20 decibels is a difference of 100 times
- a difference of 3dB is a difference of 2 times between the two quantities.
- Antenna return loss It can be understood as the ratio of the signal power reflected back to the antenna port through the antenna circuit to the transmit power of the antenna port. The smaller the reflected signal, the larger the signal radiated into space through the antenna, and the greater the radiation efficiency of the antenna. The larger the reflected signal, the smaller the signal radiated into space through the antenna, and the lower the radiation efficiency of the antenna.
- Antenna return loss can be expressed by the S11 parameter, which is one of the S parameters.
- S11 represents the reflection coefficient, which can characterize the quality of the antenna transmission efficiency.
- the S11 diagram can be understood as a schematic diagram for representing the resonance generated by the antenna.
- the resonance shown in the S11 diagram in the portion less than -6dB can be understood as the resonant frequency/frequency range/operating frequency band generated by the antenna.
- the S11 parameter is usually a negative number. The smaller the S11 parameter is, the smaller the antenna return loss is, and the smaller the energy reflected back by the antenna itself is, which means that more energy actually enters the antenna and the higher the system efficiency of the antenna is; the larger the S11 parameter is, the greater the antenna return loss is, and the lower the system efficiency of the antenna is.
- the S11 value of -4dB can be used as a standard. When the S11 value of the antenna is less than -4dB, it can be considered that the antenna can work normally. It should be understood that the S11 value of -6dB can also be used as a standard in engineering. When the S11 value of the antenna is less than -6dB, it can be considered that the transmission efficiency of the antenna is good.
- Isolation refers to the ratio of the signal received by another antenna when an antenna transmits a signal to the signal of the transmitting antenna. Isolation is a physical quantity used to measure the degree of mutual coupling between antennas. Assuming that two antennas form a two-port network, the isolation between the two antennas is the S21 and S12 between the antennas. Antenna isolation can be represented by the S21 and S12 parameters, which are also a type of S parameters. The S21 and S12 parameters are usually negative numbers. The smaller the S21 and S12 parameters are, the greater the isolation between the antennas and the smaller the mutual coupling between the antennas; the larger the S21 and S12 parameters are, the smaller the isolation between the antennas and the greater the mutual coupling between the antennas. The isolation of the antenna depends on the antenna radiation pattern, the spatial distance between the antennas, the antenna gain, etc.

- the magnetic field strength points (center) of the antenna radiator 200 are close to the magnetic field strength points (center) of the accessory radiator 110, so that a larger energy storage field is formed between the accessory radiator 110 and the antenna radiator 200, and the signal is not easily coupled into the accessory radiator 110, resulting in a higher signal loss between the antenna radiator 200 and the accessory radiator 110.
- the energy storage field strength between the antenna radiator 200 and the accessory radiator 110 is related to the distance between the antenna radiator 200 and the accessory radiator 110.

- the projection of the second end 1121 may also be located outside the projection of the antenna radiator 200, that is, the second end 1121 extends along the first direction away from the antenna radiator 200; such a configuration may also allow another electric field strength point (second end 1121) of the accessory radiator 110 and another electric field strength point (fourth end 2621) of the antenna radiator 200 to be staggered along the first direction, and the fourth end 2621 is close to the center (magnetic field strength point) of the accessory radiator 110, so that magneto-electric coupling is formed between the fourth end 2621 and the corresponding accessory radiator 110, which may further weaken the energy storage field between the antenna radiator 200 and the accessory radiator 110, so that the signal is more easily coupled into the accessory radiator 110, thereby further reducing the signal loss between the antenna radiator 200 and the accessory radiator 110.
