Abstract

In antenna design there are some fundamental relationships based on reciprocity. The equivalence of antenna pattern in transmission and reception is well known. Less well known is the time-derivative relationship going from reception to transmission. These relationships are derived here and expressed in various useful forms. Electric and magnetic dipoles are given special consideration, and the combined form constructed as a terminated TEM transmission line (the BTW antenna) is discussed for its transmission and reception properties
