Gain

The overall efficiency of an antenna can be written as the product of the total, reflection, conduction, and dielectric efficiencies. The reflection efficiency depends on the voltage reflection coefficient which is determined by the ratio of the antenna's input impedance to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Gain is defined as the ratio of intensity in a given direction compared to isotropic radiation of the same accepted power, and maximum gain depends on the antenna radiation efficiency and relationship between radiated and input powers.

ANTENNA EFFICIENCY

In general, the overall efficiency can be written as

e0 = total efficiency
(dimensionless)
er = reflection(mismatch)
efficiency = (1 − | |2)
(dimensionless)
ec = conduction efficiency
(dimensionless)
ed = dielectric efficiency
(dimensionless)
= voltage reflection coefficient
at the input terminals of the
antenna
where
Zin = antenna input
impedance,
Z0 = characteristic
impedance of the
transmission line
Voltage standing wave ratio

antenna radiation efficiency


GAIN
Gain of an antenna (in a given direction) is defined as
“the ratio of the intensity, in a given direction, to the
radiation intensity that would be obtained if the power
accepted by the antenna were radiated isotropically.

the total radiated power (Prad) is related to the total


input power (Pin ) by
the maximum value of the gain
