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.

Famous quotes containing the words definitions and/or efficiency:

    What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
