This is a glossary of antenna-related terms, derived from the Glossary of Telecommunication Terms published as Federal Standard 1037C. Please see the Federal Standard article for copyright-related issues, as not all parts of the source document are in the public domain.

Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2593 words)
Complex impedance of an antenna is related to the electrical length of the antenna at the wavelength in use.
The polarization of an antenna is the polarization of the signals it emits.
The Phased array antenna is a group of independently fed active elements in which the relative phases of the respective signals feeding the elements are varied in such a way that the effective radiation pattern of the array is reinforced in a desired direction and suppressed in undesired directions.

Cassegrain antenna In telecommunications and radar, a Cassegrain antenna is an antenna in which the feed radiator is mounted at or near the surface of a concave main reflector and is aimed at a convex secondary reflector slightly inside the focus of the main reflector.
intermediate-field region Intermediate-field region: For an antenna, the transition region--lying between the near-field region and the far-field region--in which the field strength of an electromagnetic wave is dependent upon the inverse distance, inverse square of the distance, and the inverse cube of the distance from the antenna.
The radiation pattern for the isotropic antenna is a sphere with the antenna at its center.
