I've always taken an interest in antennas and radio wave propagation. However, I've never spent the time to understand how the wiggling of electrons in a wire can produce RF radiation. So in this theory-based episode we touch on antenna physics, show how a dipole antenna radiates RF and we demonstrate how that RF behaves with a receive antenna. Of course where I need some help - we call in an expert, Sterling Mann who works in the field of RF. In the next application-based episode, we'll build our own antenna and use it to communicate around the globe.
