Antenna (biology) Antennae (singular antenna) are paired appendages connected to the front-most segments of arthropods. In crustaceans, they are biramous and present on the first two segments of the head, with the smaller pair known as antennules.
Antenna (radio) An antenna or aerial is an arrangement of aerial electrical conductors designed to transmit or receive radio waves which is a class of electromagnetic waves. In other words, antennas basically convert radio frequency electrical currents into electromagnetic waves and vice versa.
Antenna aperture As a receiver, antenna aperture can be visualised as the area of a circle constructed broadside to incoming radiation where all radiation passing within the circle is delivered by the antenna to a matched load. (Note that transmitting and receiving are reciprocal, so the aperture is the same for both.

Antenna blind cone In telecommunication, antenna blind cone (sometimes called a cone of silence) is the volume of space, usually approximately conical with its vertex at the antenna, that cannot be scanned by an antenna because of limitations of the antenna radiation pattern and mount.
Antenna diversity Antenna diversity is a transmission technique in which the information-carrying signal is transmitted along different propagation paths. This can be achieved by using multiple receiver antennas (diversity reception) and/or by using multiple transmitting antennas (transmit diversity).
Antenna effective area In telecommunication, antenna effective area is the functionally equivalent area from which an antenna directed toward the source of the received signal gathers or absorbs the energy of an incident electromagnetic wave.
Antenna gain In antenna design, gain is the logarithm of the ratio of the intensity of an antenna's radiation pattern in the direction of strongest radiation to that of a reference antenna. If the reference antenna is an isotropic antenna, the gain is often expressed in units of dBi (decibels over isotropic).
Antenna height above average terrain In telecommunication, antenna height above average terrain is the antenna height above the average terrain elevations from 3.2 to 16 kilometers (2 to 10 miles) from the antenna for the eight directions spaced evenly for each 45° of azimuth starting with true north.
Antenna measurement Antenna measurement techniques refers to the art of testing antennas to ensure that the antenna meets specifications. Parameters of antennas commonly of interest are gain, pattern, bandwidth, polarization, and impedance.
Antenna noise temperature In telecommunication, antenna noise temperature is the temperature of a hypothetical resistor at the input of an ideal noise-free receiver that would generate the same output noise power per unit bandwidth as that at the antenna output at a specified frequency.
Antenna tuner An antenna tuner, transmatch, antenna tuning unit, or ATU matches a transceiver with a fixed impedance (typically 50 ohms for modern transceivers) to a load (feed line and antenna) impedance which is unknown, complex or otherwise does not match. This mismatch is usually caused when using a non-resonant antenna (one that is not the correct electrical length as compared to the wavelength of the signal).
