FAQs
Q1: What is antenna pattern?
A1: It is a graphical representation which represents the radiation properties of antenna (as a function of space). Pattern in graphical representation explains the the process of energy radiation of antenna out into space. It also explains how antenna receives energy. It is also called radiation pattern.
Q2: What is Radiation intensity?
A2: The power radiated from an Antenna per unit solid angle is called the Radiation Intensity.
Q3: What is Ionosphere?
A3: It is a part of earth atmosphere, from about 85 km to 600 km altitude. It comprises portions of the thermosphere, mesosphere, and exosphere. Ionosphere is distinguished by Exosphere and thermosphere since it is ionized by solar radiation.
Here is how ionospheric layers look like,
