Other Definitions of Efficiency in Antennas
The IEEE standard defines several other antenna parameters which include the word efficiency, such as
- aperture illumination efficiency for aperture-antennas.
- polarization efficiency; polarization mismatch factor.
These are unconnected and should not be confused with radiation efficiency, which is the most commonly used and implied term.

Famous quotes containing the words definitions and/or efficiency:
“Lord Byron is an exceedingly interesting person, and as such is it not to be regretted that he is a slave to the vilest and most vulgar prejudices, and as mad as the winds?
There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Nothing comes to pass in nature, which can be set down to a flaw therein; for nature is always the same and everywhere one and the same in her efficiency and power of action; that is, nature’s laws and ordinances whereby all things come to pass and change from one form to another, are everywhere and always; so that there should be one and the same method of understanding the nature of all things whatsoever, namely, through nature’s universal laws and rules.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
