ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS

Introduced: September 1968

Classification Context

Section:
ELECTRICITY
Class:
ELECTRIC ELEMENTS
Subclass:
ANTENNAS, i.e. RADIO AERIALS

Description

This classification covers the design, construction, and operation of antennas used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation in radio frequency applications. It includes various antenna types such as dipole, parabolic, helical, microstrip, phased array, and horn antennas, as well as antenna arrays and feed systems. The class encompasses both the physical antenna structures and their electrical characteristics, including impedance matching, radiation patterns, and directivity optimization. Related aspects of antenna installation, tuning mechanisms, and associated transmission line components are also included within this scope.

Scope Notes
