Antennas Part I: Exploring the Fundamentals of Antennas -- DC to Daylight 23

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.

  • You were clearly ambitious thinking you can explain RF in two short videos.

    If you really want a challenge, try to explain how you can rip an electron from an atom, especially Hydrogen, without destroying the integrity of the atom.

    I contend, that ALL charge flow is accomplished by the exchange of photons between atoms. All of your electronic equations remain the same, but you maintain the integrity of the atoms involved.
