Antenna
An antenna or aerial is a device for radiating or receiving electromagnetic waves. There is little fundamental difference between transmitting and receiving antennas since very often same antenna is used for both purpose as in radar. Antennas are also defined as a metallic device (as a rod or wire for radiating or receiving radio waves)
Antenna
Since antennas play a very important part in a comm systems, it is essential to have thorough understanding of the principles on which they perform their task efficiently. In the past ants have been treated somewhat differently from the sys in which they are used. But in recent years ants are designed alongside the system. This is because it is essential to know the system performance as a whole rather than that of the antenna alone.

Higher the freq more pronounced skin effect For LF flow through Centre of conductor
Shortening of lines of force at HF-Ends of field More thickness of skin for high energy carriage Lesser skin effect for LF
