• Radiation Pattern
– a plot of the radiated field/power as a function of
angle at a fixed distance which should be large
enough to be considered in its far field
• Radiation Efficiency
– the ratio of the radiated power to the input power
accepted by the antenna:
and directivity

• Input Impedance
– Antenna input impedance (Za) is the impedance
presented by an antenna at its terminals or the ratio
of the voltage to current at its terminals
• Matching Efficiency
