Good Day,
Firstly I am a complete beginner in RF design but please bear with me. I would like to understand a little more about antennas, lets take a di-pole for eg. I would like to know what electric signal would i measure at the connection point? so if i hooked up an appropriate oscilloscope what would I see? I need to understand this so that I can build on what the RF amp stage is trying to accomplish.
I have this possibly crazy perception form my readings that an antenna could be considered like a band pass filter? meaning that the more you deviate from the quarter(or was it half) wavelength the less signal you will pick up at that frequency.
Thanks,
StudentSA
