ANTENNA
Imagine holding out your hand and catching words, pictures, and information passing by. That's more
or less what an antenna (sometimes called an aerial) does: it's the metal rod or dish that catches radio
waves and turns them into electrical signals feeding into something like a radio or television or
a telephone system. Antennas like this are sometimes called receivers. A transmitter is a different kind
of antenna that does the opposite job to a receiver: it turns electrical signals into radio waves so they
can travel sometimes thousands of kilometers around the Earth or even into space and back. Antennas
and transmitters are the key to virtually all forms of modern telecommunication.

There are several reasons as to why we need or why we use antennas, but an important reason as
to why we use antennas is that they provide a simple way to transfer signals (or data) where other
methods are impossible.

For example, take the case of an airplane. The pilot needs to frequently communicate with the ATC
personnel. If would not make any sense if we tie up a cable (of dynamically variable length) to the tail
of the plane and connect it to the ATC.

Wireless communication is the only feasible option and Antennas are the gateway for that. There
are many situations or applications where cables are preferred over wireless communication with
antennas (like high speed Ethernet or the connection between gaming console and the T.V., for
example).
 Now that we have seen a little bit about antennas in general and why do we use antennas, let us
proceed further and take a look as different types antennas. There are several types of antennas and
each literature work has its own classification of antennas.

Some of the common types of antennas are mentioned below:

Wire Antennas, Short Dipole Antenna, Dipole Antenna, Loop Antenna, Monopole Antenna, Log
Periodic Antennas, Bow Tie Antennas, Log-Periodic Antennas, Log-Periodic Dipole Array, Aperture
Antennas, Slot Antenna, Horn Antenna, Microstrip Antennas, Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna,
Quarter-Wave Patch Antenna, Reflector Antennas, Flat-plate Reflector Antenna, Corner Reflector
Antenna, Parabolic Reflector Antenna, Lens Antennas, Travelling-wave Antennas, Long Wire Antenna,
Yagi–Uda Antenna, Helical Wire Antenna, Spiral Antenna, Array Antennas, Two-Element Array
Antenna, Linear Array Antenna, Phased Array Antennas.

1- What is an antenna?
2- How is it called too?
3- How does it work?
4- Why do we need Antennas?
5- Name the different Types of Antennas.
