Abstract :
Last year we introduced the power wave theory of antennas, which provides a complete and simple description of antenna performance in both the frequency and time domains (E. G. Farr, “A Power Wave Theory of Antennas,” FERMAT e-magazine, www.e-fermat.org, Vol. 7, 2015.) It expresses antenna performance in both transmission and reception, using the simplest possible expressions, with a minimal number of antenna descriptors. It fills a gap in frequency domain antenna theory, because it shows how to add a meaningful phase to both antenna gain and radar cross section.
