 What is an Antenna

• Basically Antenna is a transducer which converts Electromagnetic energy

into Electrical energy and vice versa.
• Antenna transmits and receives Electromagnetic Waves.

• Any metallic conductor acts like an antenna to transmit and receive radio
waves for example a simple wire or rod.
• The dimensions of any antenna depends on frequency of operation.
