Antenna Efficiency - Other Definitions of Efficiency in Antennas

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.
